(Central News Agency, Reporter Cai Mengyu, Kaohsiung, June 10) National Sun Yat-sen University experienced a campus-wide power outage for nearly one hour this morning. Power was restored after the school activated emergency measures. The Kaohsiung District Office of Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) stated that the initial judgment indicates the fault point lies within the university's own equipment, and they will assist in re-confirming the fault point and related relay settings tomorrow.
National Sun Yat-sen University issued a statement saying the power outage occurred on campus at 10:42 a.m. today. The school immediately activated emergency measures and restored power at 11:38 a.m. Academic units have assessed the impact on final exams and will provide necessary assistance to protect student rights.
The university further stated that an inspection found its high-voltage equipment operating normally with no faults detected. The initial assessment suggests the outage may be related to abnormal voltage fluctuations in the external power supply. The university will clarify and confirm the cause with Taipower at a later date.
However, Taipower's Kaohsiung District Office stated that based on the line fault indicator lights, the fault zone was confirmed to be on the university's side of the demarcation point. After dispatching personnel to inspect the site together with the university's electrical maintenance staff, it was confirmed that the fault point is in the university's own equipment. After the university isolated the fault area, Taipower's external lines resumed power transmission.
Taipower's Kaohsiung District Office stated that to ensure all faults in the user's own equipment have been resolved, personnel will be dispatched tomorrow to work with the university's electrical staff to re-confirm the fault point and related relay settings. (Editor: Li Hengshan) 1150610
