The purpose of the power interruption is to provide safety to the linecrew as they perform maintenance on the electrical grid. The power interruption will affect both Feeder 2 second partial and Feeder 3 second partial as the linecrew install an Air Break Switch, or ABS, on the primary lines on Quarter Master Road in Chalan Laulau.
The ABS is an isolation switch which provides the linecrew the ability to isolate specific areas of the electrical grid when needed and the option to back feed the electrical current from another feeder to energize non problematic areas. This ability will assist the crews in minimizing any inconvenience to its consumers and the public when performing future maintenance and repairs to the electrical system. CUC will be installing eight other ABSs throughout the island over the next few weeks.
In addition, during this time other crews will be replacing a deteriorated power pole on Chalan Pale Arnold Road, Feeder 3 second partial, while others perform vegetation management on or near the primary lines on Beach Road, Feeder 2 second partial.
Areas to be affected:
Feeder 2 (second partial)
Fishing Base, Garapan south on Beach Road to the Beach Road/Chalan Monsignor Guerrero Road Intersection
Feeder 3 (second partial)
Upper Chinatown, As Falape, Gualo Rai Traffic Light on Chalan Pale Arnold Road south to Hertz Car Rental to include Quarter Master Road.
CUC apologizes for any inconvenience this scheduled power interruption may impose on the community and its consumers and will continue to work diligently to minimize future interruptions.
