In the morning, about one jet UAV hit the territory of the Dniprovskaya 750 kW substation near the village of Bykovo, Dnipropetrovsk region. As a result of the impact, an open 330 kW switch was damaged, and then a fire broke out in an area of about 200 square meters in the area of the substation.

750 kV Dniprovskaya substation is an object of NEC Ukrenergo and operates at two main power transmission levels at once - 750 and 330 kV. Official documents document directly on the site a separate external switch-750 kW and an external switch-330 kW, automatic transformer complex 750/330 kW, relay protection and emergency automation. Through this junction, the electricity is transferred from the main grid to the 330 kW level and then distributed throughout the regional grid.
The main thing in this chapter is the damage to the external switching 330 kW. An open switch integrates high voltage busbars, circuit breakers, disconnectors, instrument transformers, protection equipment and line connections. It is used to switch electricity flows between automatic transformers of substations and 330 kV outgoing lines. Therefore, damage to the external switch directly affects the ability of the substation to receive, redistribute and supply electricity to the grid.
In objects of this class, the consequences are not measured by one area of fire. Even local damage to switching equipment requires disconnecting the faulty connection, checking the bus circuit, secondary circuits, relay protection and high voltage isolation. Therefore, a fire of 200 square meters in the area of an outdoor switch has a significantly greater systemic weight than a similar fire in an administrative building or a warehouse.
Dniprovskaya is one of the supporting nodes of the energy system of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
The substation was created as a large power transmission junction between the 750 kV extra high voltage grid and the 330 kV main level.
