Power Disruption Yesterday in North Town and Eutingen

On a Wednesday evening, a short circuit in the medium voltage grid of Stadtwerke Pforzheim led to a power outage in Pforzheim's North City and Eutingen. The incident, reported around 8:15 PM, caused a disruption of power supply to certain areas, including the industrial area of Hohenäcker.

The telecommunications exchange on Redtenbacher Street was also affected, causing the telephone network to be disrupted. In Eutingen, the street lighting and traffic lights, including the traffic light system at the main road to B10, were affected by the power outage.

Employees of Stadtwerke Pforzheim quickly sprung into action, conducting investigations after the outage and working with on-call staff and additional employees to restore power as quickly as possible. The location of the initial short circuit was in Pforzheim.

The event triggered a chain reaction in the power grid, resulting in further ground faults or short circuits in transformer stations. This chain reaction caused outages in the low voltage grid, exacerbating the power outage in the affected areas.

By 11 PM, power was largely restored, bringing some relief to the affected residents and businesses. Further repair work will continue throughout the week to ensure a stable power supply.

It is typical for the electricity supplier or grid operator to conduct investigations following power outages. However, the specific organisation responsible for this investigation is not specified in the provided information.
