On October 10 in the afternoon dispatcher office of Vyselkovskiy district received an alarm on emergency shutdown of transformer substations in Inogorodne-Malyovanniy settlement. The cause of the accident was the car crashed into 6kV overhead transmission tower.
In the results of the crash the tower and equipment were severely damaged and two spans of wires were broken down.

Thanks to prompt actions of our employees electricity supply in this settlement was rested by the evening.

When damaging power lines a real threat to people’s lives and health emerges, because of the risk of getting an electric trauma.
