On July 1st, 2022 it was noticed that the HT and LT switchgears in substation SS-53 changed over to the incomer-1. During checking, it was noticed that incomer-2 HT transformer tripped on Buchholtz protection due to low conservator oil level. On observation, the HT transformer-2 conservator level had gone to zero. It was found that the oil drain valve of the Nitrogen Injection Fire Fighting System was open and had drained the oil into the oil pit, causing the low conservator oil level.
