Companhia de Electricidade de Macau (CEM) recently joined hands with the Macau Fire Services Bureau to conduct a fire drill at the main substation in the University of Macau on Hengqin Island. The fire drill aimed to reinforce the two parties’ emergency responsiveness and coordination in case of accidents. The entire process went smoothly and responsively.
The drill simulated a scenario where smoke emitted from an 11kV switchboard in the main University of Macau substation and activated the smoke detection system. In accordance with the emergency procedures, the CEM dispatch center immediately sent an emergency team to investigate the situation on site. CEM frontline staff together with the fire brigade took necessary emergency measures to resolve the problem. After inspection and isolation of the power of the high-voltage switchboard, it was identified that the incident was due to an earth fault in the high-voltage cable in a cabinet. The situation was resloved and the fire drill was successfully concluded.
