Irony alert: Major airport to be interrupted for two hours to replace UPS
The replacement of an uninterruptible power supply at the air traffic management center in a major airport in the Philippines will result in the entire country's airspace being shut down for two hours on May 17.
The corrective action at Ninoy Aquino International Airport was originally scheduled to suspend operations for six hours on May 17. This was later"After careful study, simulation, consultation with CAAP's technical team and service provider, it was agreed that the maintenance activity can be expedited by providing additional manpower and a standby UPS," CAAP spokesperson Eric Apolonio told the Philippine News Agency.
The planned solutions include the UPS being replaced, the Automatic Voltage Regulator repaired, and the air traffic management system upgraded. The ATMS power supply upgrade will include the installation of a bypass panel and the reconfiguration of the distribution panel that separates voice from data. UPS and AVR will then serve as backups for one other in case of any further outages.
Operations were also suspended for two hours on May 3. The maintenance work follows two recent major power outages at NAIA that resulted in chaos and stranded travellers on heavy travel days – New Year's Day and Labor day weekend.lasted for eight hours.
The Labor Day incident stranded around 9,000 passengers when the power went out in Terminal 3. Manila Electric Co. said a current activated a fault indicator that therefore tripped the circuit breaker in an attempt to protect the system. The team replaced a damaged elbow connector and restored power fully around eight hours later. In the meantime, mission critical areas were powered via a generator.
