Pakistan power outage caused by failure of safeguards

India TV News  

One of the worst power outages faced by Pakistan last week was caused due to poor maintenance and subsequent failure of the protection system in the national grid, the Dawn reported on Monday. The newspaper reported that senior officers held detailed discussions after many cities and towns across Pakistan plunged into darkness Saturday night following a major technical fault in the country's power generation and distribution system. The NTDC operates the country’s national grid whose protection system should have reacted to the Guddu station’s tripping and isolated the fault. Officials said the initial fault appeared to have occurred at the Guddu station’s switchyard, but the protection system of the transmission network did not respond to the fault.
