Transformation substation accident in Vladivostok traced back to its origins by energy authorities

In the city of Vladivostok, a power outage affected dozens of homes following a fire at a transformer station. The incident, reported by IA PrimaMedia, has since led to an investigation to determine the cause of the fire and the subsequent transformer station failure.

According to the press service of AO "DRSK", the failure of the transformer station was due to unsanctioned earthworks carried out by an external contractor, which resulted in damage to the cable line. This damage, in turn, affected the adjacent network organization's feeder, triggering protective relay systems and disconnecting the power line.

The fire left many homes without electricity, and by 18:23, power supply to almost all consumers in Vladivostok was restored. However, Feeder No.18, serviced by AO "Oboronenergo", remains without power.

The name of the uncoordinated construction company responsible for the damage to the cable network and the transformer station failure has not been disclosed publicly. Work to eliminate the aftermath of the accident at the transformer station continues.

The power supply restoration timeline for Feeder No.18 and the details of the affected feeder were not mentioned in the initial reports. The investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing, with emergency services working diligently to uncover more information.

The specific details about the damage to the cable line and feeder were not disclosed in the earlier reports. The public is advised to stay informed and follow updates from reliable sources regarding the power outage situation in Vladivostok.
