Co said the checking included the breakers, circuit breakers, cable tests bus bars, relays, current transformers, and the other cables of these systems. But the power outage once again shows the need for urgent power augmentation while a full electrical audit is ongoing, said Senate Public Service committee chairperson Sen. Grace Poe.
A special team from the airport management and Meralco is currently conducting a joint technical assessment with assistance from an independent third party expert to determine the causes of the said power interruption.
