Power failure in Fulda: District district for almost two hours!
In Fulda there was a significant power failure on Monday evening, which left some parts of the city center for a certain time without electricity. Affected regions included Lindenstrasse, Heinrichstrasse, Petersberger Straße, Leipziger Strasse and Horaser Weg. The incident occurred around 8:10 p.m. and lasted until around 9:45 p.m., which affected around 100 households.
The cause of the failure was a technical problem in the medium -voltage network. Dr. Volker Nies, spokesman for the Rhönenergie Group, spoke of a double short circuit. First there was a short circuit in a 20,000-volt landing line, which triggered a further short circuit in a transformer station on Heinrichstrasse. This collision of two problems led to the far -reaching power failure, which required an immediate reaction from the technology department.
Fortunately, the power supply was quickly restored after intensive work by the technicians of the Rhönenergie network company. Dr. Nies confirmed that all affected households were online again by 9:45 p.m. Nevertheless, the Rhönenergy endeavors to carry out further causes analyzes to prevent such incidents in the future.
The "Katwarn" warning system had also informed about the incident. The system recommended that the citizens inform themselves about local media such as the radio and to reduce electricity consumption to a minimum in order to avoid possible difficulties.
During this incident, the Rhönenergy also brought a memory of a previous disorder in the region: on October 9th, there was also a short -term power failure in other districts of Fulda, which could be quickly remedied.
The events in Fulda illustrate the importance of stable infrastructures in urban areas and the challenges with which supply companies are faced with. It is to be hoped that future troubleshooting and maintenance will be effectively implemented in order to increase the reliability of the power supply in the city.
