Dear SRA Members,
We have been hit twice on successive nights (May 4 and 5) by power outage. On May 4, power was restored quickly and we have commended Tenaga. When it happened again, almost at the same time as a day earlier, I was wondering whether Tenaga "pantang dipuji" :)
On May 5, it took much longer due to a "double fault" and Tenaga has apologised for the inconvenience.
Their crews worked throughout the night from 8.45pm, first working to restore power to all sub-stations affected in KL South and had expected it to be done by midnight. Some of you may have been alerted by SMS by SRA.
Then, around midnight, it was found that the cables at the Bukit Seputeh substation "tripped" due to over-load once supply was restored.
Tenaga then brought in generator sets to supply power while the team worked throughout the night. Supply from the gen-sets came on line at 1.45am, so we all had power by that time.
Cable replacement work was completed by 6am this morning. Those early risers will notice that there was a 3-minute interruption in power supply this morning around 6.10am. This was to enable them to pull out the gen-set and plug in the new supply cable.
Even though we don't like the frequent blackouts, we must acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of the Tenaga crews. Thank you, Tenaga, but please try to prevent this from happening once too often.
Cheers
KH Lim
Vice-President
