I've wondered how to use this word properly, and thankfully a recent BBC article used the word to offer some insight:
تعرضت محطة لتوليد الكهرباء للهجوم مما أدى إلى انقطاع الكهرباء عن بعض مناطق العاصمة لعدة ساعات
My translation:
The electrical station was exposed to the attacks of which lead to the loss of power in some areas of the capital for several hours.
