Lunar substation back online on Wednesday - City Power
City Power spokesperson Isaac Mangena says the utility hopes to have the Lunar substation back up and running by Wednesday.
Mangena gave an update on the progress of the work being done following the fire at the substation on Saturday evening.
The incident left residents in Lenasia South, Migson Manor, Finetown, Mountain View, and surrounding areas without electricity.
Mangena says the work, which is still underway, is mainly focused on testing protection functions which are necessary to safeguard the transformer and the substation from fire, as was the case during the explosion.
"The focus will then shift to the auxiliary transformer. While it was tested and cleared yesterday (Monday), it has to be connected to the system and the material to achieve this is currently being sourced.
"More tests will follow after the connection, and further tests will be done by a team of operators on all distributors. The substation will also have to be energised after being off for a few days. We are on course to meet the estimated time of restoration set for Wednesday."
