Power crews hustle right now in Bagumbayan, Kauswagan, Lanao del Norte. They tackle the burnt and aged 69kV SF6 Circuit Breaker. This outage hits hard, affecting the Municipalities of Maigo, Bacolod, Munai, Kauswagan, Poona Piagapo, Linamon, and Matungao, Lanao del Norte. 

Why the Lights Stay Off

Technicians fix the tripping/closing coil issues. However, defective auxiliary contact, stuck mechanical interlocking, or simple wear and tear likely caused the problem. De-energization during trip time made everything worse. 

Hope on the Horizon

Power will be restored once substation works finish. Meanwhile, stay patient—check the update here: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1Asdf4aTC3/?mibextid=wwXIfr.
