CUC: Cylinder, turbocharger problems cause power outage Tuesday, 03 June 2008 00:00 By Raymond A. Martinez - Variety News Staff THIRTY percent of the island suffered power outage yesterday as two engines at Power Plant 1 experienced mechanical breakdown, leaving only two engines running to service the rest of the
communities.
This is according to Commonwealth Utilities Corp. Executive Director Antonio S. Muna.
Muna explained that engines #3 and 6 were down due to mechanical problems.
Engine #3, he said, experienced abnormal sound on its cylinder #16, while engine #6 was down due to presence of water in the turbocharger lube oil system.
CUC report says unit #3 needs valve replacement and unit #6 needs further inspection with its turbocharger cooler.
Engines #3 and 6 were secured yesterday, but are still under observation by the power plant crew.
Muna mentioned that engines #2 and 8 were the only power units that were operating yesterday with a combined capacity of 13 megawatts only.
CUC implemented load shedding from 8 a.m. until 12 midnight, affecting the entire grid of Kiyas 1 and 4, Feeders 7 and 4.
San Vicente, portions of Papago, Upper and Lower Dandan, Isley Field, Upper Gualo Rai, Chalan Kiya, Oleai, San Jose, Garapan, Koblerville, As Gonno, San Antonio, Capital Hill, Kagman, Achugao, San Roque, Afetnas and several other places were affected.
Water services and traffic lights were also down in yesterday’s power outage.
Last week CUC announced that high atmospheric temperature and overheating radiator has paralyzed two of its power plant engines which caused power service interruption island-wide.
Gary P. Camacho, CUC’s power division acting manager, said they will repair a defective air break system on Feeder 3 near the Gualo Rai intersection today.
“The repair of this equipment will allow the crews to isolate specific areas of the grid to perform systems maintenance and minimize future feeder outages,” Camacho explained.
Feeders 2 and 3 will be taken offline from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Other Feeders that will be affected in today’s outage include Kiya 1: Second Partial, Feeder 1: Laterals, entire grids of Feeders 4 and 7, and entire grids of Kiyas 1,
