@cazontheweb@CityPowerJhb ChatGPT: Basically, the breaker they’re trying to close won’t stay locked in the ON position. They can close it, but the mechanism isn’t latching, so it opens again or can’t be safely energised. Until they fix that, they can’t restore the power supply.
@MrKevinStevens1@CityPowerJhb No, just being proactive to make sure we don’t have an outage after load shedding. Looks like we were lucky tonight, it didn’t happen
@MartinKarwowski@CityPowerJhb But that’s the reason why the substations get overloaded. I always make sure that I wait 20-30 minutes before even turning on a stove. City Power and the Ward Counsellors constantly tell people to turn these appliances off to avoid overloading the substation. People don’t learn.
@The_Lourens@CityPowerJhb Agreed 100% that there is misuse of funds, corruption etc. but now because residents don’t think and wait 20-30 min to turn on their stoves, we have this problem.
