On August 28, 2024, an explosion at the Nyala Substation in Pretoria East caused substantial damage estimated at $200,000. The blast was triggered by a malfunctioning transformer and necessitated a comprehensive emergency response. Despite the significant damage and disruption, power was promptly restored shortly after the incident. Emergency teams worked quickly to manage the situation and ensure that services were resumed with minimal delay. Efforts are underway to investigate the cause and prevent future occurrences.

On August 28, 2024, a significant explosion occurred at the Nyala Substation on Delmas Road in Pretoria East. The Volunteer Emergency Medical Response Unit (VEMRU) was the first to respond, quickly setting up a safety area and investigating the scene. They confirmed the explosion involved a burning transformer.

The fire was promptly reported to the City of Tshwane Firefighters, who arrived within minutes. The firefighters used foam to extinguish the blaze with the assistance of VEMRU, who had set up an inline foam system.

Tshwane Metro Police and electrical technicians were also on the scene to assess the damage and begin repairs.

The cause of the explosion was determined to be a malfunction in the transformer, likely due to an internal fault. The incident resulted in extensive damage to the substation, estimated at around $200,000, including the cost of repairs and equipment replacement.

This incident underscores the importance of early fire detection and prevention. Planck Vision Systems offers advanced thermal imaging cameras that provide 24/7 monitoring and can detect anomalies before they escalate into major issues. These cameras are essential for preventing costly and potentially dangerous failures at substations.
