Electrical surge incidents happened in Jalan Puteri 7/3 & 7/4 (6/10/12)

An electrical surge (high voltage surge)  happened on 6 October 2012 (Saturday) around 11am at our Taman causing 100% of the houses (55 houses) located at Jalan Puteri 7/3 and 7/4 and incurred damages to their home appliances such as TVs, ASTRO decoder, autogates, water heaters, Computers, CCTVs, Alarm systems, air conditionings, fridges, UNIFI and etc. Our CCTV and Boom gates at the Guard house was also not spared.

Most of the affected residents have lodged a police report are now waiting for TNB personnel to inspect from house to house to compile the required damage details. TNB said that the surge was caused because someone had vandalised one of its distribution feeder pillar located at Jalan Puteri 7/4. 

RA also noticed that the Distribution Feeder Pillar beside the Sub-station located at Jalan Puteri 7/5 are not properly maintained as the doors are not locked and the station itself very worn out and rusty. TNB worker has claimed that the fault lies in the Security Guards not performing their duty well thus resulting in the theft of the “copper bar” or buss bar” causing the electrical surge (high voltage surge). But  we, the RA committee members of Puteri 7 had gone around and check on the distribution feeder pillar and noticed that another distribution feeder pillar located at Jalan Puteri 7/5 near playground also didn’t lock with padlock and it danger to anyone especially children who come close to it. It should be the responsibility of TNB to ensure the safety and maintain the sub-stations and distribution feeder pillar to avoid any unwanted incidents.
