According to media reports, 18 at the substation which is located in the south of xi 'an suspected because of the failure cause burst into flames, flames lit the night sky, luckily no one was hurt. But more than 80000 users once a power outage, near the shop Windows shattered, car has damaged. Official after the preliminary investigation found no artificial damage scenarios, is currently investigating the cause of the accident. And since the supply of the substation near several semiconductor factory power supply, make the Settings in the area of semiconductors such as samsung, micron, force into a plant are influenced by different degree, number of how many, as for the details of the damage is in the details.
According to the report pointed out that burst into flames in the south of China state grid company in shaanxi xi 'an substation, is located in chang 'an district wei qu west avenue and changxing road border. 18, 25 points, 12 in the morning for a transformer fault suddenly burst into flames, fire area of about 100 square meters, the fire was fierce, local fire unit out 21 car more than 90 people showed up saves, put the fire out around 1 a.m. in the morning, then workers in electrical repair work.
Due to explosion near several semiconductor manufacturers, including into companies such as samsung, micron, force. Therefore, under the fire caused by the power cut, also caused the loss of these vendors. Samsung is located in the nearby of semiconductor factory mainly produce 3 d NAND, mainly supply the use of solid state drive (SSD), is apple's forthcoming iPhone model 7 256 gb of Flash main supplier, the quantity is as high as 100000.
For the influence of the fire, samsung said, because of the massive power failure, has caused some production downtime. However, affect the production capacity of about 1 to 2%, which is in the can control range, so for future delivery will not be any impact.
Small make up a words: general semiconductor wafer production equipment is equipped with a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), namely the uninterrupted Power Supply. Power supply failure of the machine, most also can only cause scrap parts are inside the machine products. Have a negligible impact on the capacity of production line and more does not cause the problem of industry follow-up supplier!
Power supply failure, according to samsung internal personnel after the incident, the afternoon has been largely to resume production.
