The units resumed operation around 2pm after shutting down around 8am on Wednesday, said power station officials.
The units failed due to a mechanical malfunction, resulting in the station’s supply to the National Grid dropping by 264MW.
Power station Engineer Md Yakub told bdnews24.com that a 132-KV line had tripped at the switch yard substation.
“As a result, Unit-2 of 64MW capacity, Unit-3 of 150MW capacity and the 50MW gas engine unit shut down at the same time.”
The in-house engineers repaired the damage and the units resumed generation around 2pm, he said.
