The power supply line was disconnected at the Zaporozhye NPP.

"At the Zaporozhye NPP, the 750 kV Dneprovskaya high—voltage power supply line was turned off by the action of automation," the Zaporozhye NPP reports.

The station clarified that the NPP's own needs are powered from the 330 kV Ferroalloy -1 line.

"No violations of safety limits and conditions have been recorded. The staff is ready to respond," the report says.

At the moment, all units of the Zaporozhye NPP (with a total capacity of 6 GW) have been stopped and are in a "cold stop" state, and the equipment is serviced in accordance with all necessary regulations under strict control of radiation safety standards, the NPP added.

This is not the first time the high-voltage line to the station has stopped. This is usually due to shelling, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces deny.
