Power outage hits NAIA Terminal 3

[chua_riwap]

So yung battery nung isang gen set na-drain yung power, whic is used to crank up the 9 working gen sets, tama ba?

Malas lang.....
Halatang walang nagro-routine maint sa mga gen sets ng T3.

Tahimik nanaman si Pnoy?

If I were Pnoy, this is where I draw the line -Abaya and Honrado should submit their resignation papers on Monday! You want to support the administration yet you have this embarrassing situation that slaps you in the face and leave you hurting ang frustrated. Meantime Abaya will just issue a general statement that he will look into the generator system when obviously it is more than that. What an incompetent and ineffective head that should be severed with a sharp ax!

bro IMO suntok sa buwan yan si abaya will submit his resignation to Pnoy? malaki ang pakinabang ni Pnoy sa kanya. kung walang silbi na sino man sa member ng cabinete ni Pnoy adios kaagad like what happened to Binay. heto ang palaging sinasabi ni Abaya sa media interview... "I serve at the pleasure of PNoy" onga naman ano ang paki ni Abaya sating mga taxpayer?

emergency generators are suppose to run every week and put on line once a month. i worked at the heart center many many years ago (late 80's) and this was the standard practice even then. to me this means they are not doing their weekly test run and monthly "on load" test of their generators, both to test the generators, the synchronizing system and the switch gears. and 5 hours! nah, somebody is lying there somewhere. i think they were either out of diesel or the people in-charge did not know what to do.

also, sabi ng meralco na-restor ang power from the substation after 1 minute. how hard is it to throw a transfer switch? improperly maintained or they do not know.

i agree, we do this at BPO's to ensure generators will kick-in in an event of an power outage, foreign clients just won't accept the fact that most calls gets disconnected when the city power dies...

they ran out of diesel thats the most logical thing... the airport is full of vehicles with batteries they can collect to start-up the generators, but the main fault is not practicing proper genset maintenance, ensuring it will work when needed...

a lot of things can happen when the power is out, either you can bring in things (or out) in the darkness of the night

clearly, the person in charge of maintaining the genset in tiptop shape, ready to generate at a flick of a switch, was not doing his job. this includes training of personnel to do the right thing in the event of an outage.
either that, or administration has not approved funding for fuel and fresh battery, and other maintenance nicknacks..
maintenance can not do its job if administration refuses to fund them.
let's sit back and watch the finger-pointing game...
