DTEK explained why Ukrainians are switched off during rocket attacks of the Russian Federation

In order to avoid this, energy was introduced by preventive shutdown of light in some regions of the country, said Sergey Kovalenko, a CEO of Yasno, which is a member of DTEK. According to him, almost the same principle as with electricity consumption is used in disconnections - consumed as much as it is produced. "Imagine a network of water pipes: one large through the pump is connected by many small, thinner.

The pump holds the volume of water from a large pipe, reduces it and fits into small tubes. If this pump is broken, most likely, thin tubes will break from the strong the pressure time of the explosion. The situation is similar to the power grids, "he explained. Sergiy Kovalenko also said that if the rocket kisses the transformer, then the network or even the generation object itself will be damaged due to a sharp jump in voltage.

Then the repair work will be delayed, because specialists will have to restore the whole system, not one link, if it was disconnected. "They will have to be repaired for a long time, much longer than any one link of the system, if they are kissed when everything will be unlocked. That is why we are previously disconnected during attacks. It is better to endure without light for several hours than a week to wait for the repair," - said Yasno CEO.

Recall that the attack of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on March 9 in several regions was damaged by energy infrastructure. The NEC "Ukrenergo" reported that the most difficult situation after the shelling occurred in Kharkiv and Zhytomyr regions. Repair work on facilities is expected to last from a few days to two weeks. Problems due to Russian shelling also arose in Kiev.
