A fault in a local insulator is being blamed for the random power outages being experienced throughout the Matakana and Omaha area in recent weeks. Vector says the fault only tended to happen when the area experienced light rain, so it had taken some time to trace it. “We are sorry for the issues this fault has caused, and we thank customers for their patience and understanding,” a spokesperson says. “We’ve since found the fault in a local insulator, which had a hairline crack in it, which made it very difficult to trace. A new unit has been installed and the issue should now be sorted.” Vector is also investigating other actions to ensure ongoing reliability of the network.
