A BRIEF power cut in the early afternoon caused confusion in the Ang Mo Kio and Bishan areas on Thursday when it affected trains, shopping malls, homes, schools and industrial buildings.
A cable fault had caused a trip in the electrical supply, according to preliminary findings, said SP Powergrid. It did not specify which areas were affected.
The 15-minute disruption between 1.30pm and 1.45pm, stalled 17 trains between Orchard and Marsiling on the North-South Line.
Backup emergency power had to be triggered for emergency lighting and ventilation inside the trains, some of which had stopped in the tunnels between stations, said SMRT.
At 13 stations between Newton and Marsiling, there was no train service.
At five underground stations, the air-conditioning stopped and emergency lighting had to be provided. SOURCE
