The Entanglement of an External Wire in the Kelana Jaya LRT Power System Remains Under Investigation

An external wire, not connected to the train or railway infrastructure, became entangled with the Kelana Jaya LRT Line's power supply system, causing a loud sound described as a "small explosion." This incident occurred at 7:18 PM yesterday as Train No. 57 was approaching Taman Jaya station, heading towards Putra Heights. As a safety measure, the train was immediately removed from service, and passengers were safely disembarked at the subsequent station to continue their journeys on another train.
Initial Findings on Infrastructure and Train Condition

Following the incident, initial inspections revealed no damage to Train No. 57 or its components. Similarly, checks conducted on the track infrastructure between Universiti and Taman Jaya stations confirmed that the system was in good condition and safe for continued operations. A more thorough inspection was undertaken after service hours to ascertain the cause of the disturbance.
The Role of the External Wire

Investigators identified that a thin, external wire had melted within the power supply system. This wire is believed to have become entangled with the system, leading to the sound that resembled a small explosion. The origin of this wire and the specific circumstances that led to its entanglement with the power supply system are still subjects of ongoing investigation by Rapid KL.
Ongoing Investigation and Preventive Measures

Rapid KL is continuing its investigation into the exact cause of the entanglement. The rail operator has stated its commitment to implementing appropriate preventive measures to avoid any recurrence of such incidents. Passengers are advised to monitor Rapid KL's social media channels and the MyRapid PULSE app for the latest updates regarding Kelana Jaya Line services.
