Authorities identified a “fault current” as the cause of the power outage at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 on Labor Day, but an investigation is still ongoing to determine the root of the issue which impacted some 9,000 passengers.
According to Manila Electric Co. Manager Engineer Noel Espiritu, the power went out as the circuit breaker was tripped due to a temporary overflow of the current, as he cited a “fault current.”
Espiritu said the Meralco team also had to change a system component which was stressed due to the high current. “Kung paano po nada-damage, kung siya po ay dinaanan ng fault current kasi high amount of current… ‘Yun po ‘yun nakita namin kanina after the outage,” he added. Meralco Relationship Manager for the national government Aquilino Santiago III explained that had the circuit breaker not worked, this could have led to an explosion, and even the firm’s substation would have been affected.For his part, Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said authorities would continue to investigate the incident, as they had already sought help from the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency to investigate the matter.
