Repair work underway to restore electricity in Vanderbijlpark
VANDERBIJLPARK.- The Emfuleni Local Municipality (ELM) announced yesterday, Wednesday, that repair work is being done to restore power supply at the Vanderbijlpark town substation.
A huge portion of the town of Vanderbijlpark was left in the dark last week following a fire that broke out in a 11kV switch room at the town's substation.
The substation supplies consumers at CW Areas and parts of NW 7.
The ELM has announced that repairs are nearing completion.
'Technicians are finalising cable identification, phasing and rotation before connecting to Ring Main Units (RMUs). The team is also waiting for the delivery of 3-core cable to complete installations from 11 kV live chamber to the RMUs,' a statement by the ELM said.
'Upon successful cable rooting and connection to the RMUs, technicians will commence with protection settings for earth fault and overcurrent. With more repair work still in progress, ETR will be communicated as soon as the 3-core cable is successfully delivered at the Substation. We apologize for the inconvenience.'
