We have not had any problems for years before this,&#8221; said Tammy, who asked us not to use her last name.<br \/>\n\u201cEach day the power has gone out we have phoned to check it is the same issue. I think each time they have said engineers had been dispatched, whether to replace a fuse, or investigate.\u201d<br \/>\nAlthough Western Power said most complaints were related to a power cut on February 20, Tammy said her property had been severely affected on February 19.<br \/>\n\u201cThat first day was longest for us; we had two cuts that lasted over an hour between them. Last night we had around 10 cuts between 6pm and 10pm.\u201d<br \/>\nSeveral other residents complained of a similar level of disruption; Wyeverne Road appears to have been particularly badly affected.<br \/>\nThere were at least six power cuts on a number of properties in the street last night, with some residents saying an entire side of the street was without power on all six occasions.<br \/>\nA spokesperson for Western Power, the electricity operator for South Wales, said: \u201cOn February 20, 311\u00a0customers in the Cathays area of Cardiff were affected by a power interruption for just over an hour after an underground cable fault caused fuses to blow in our substation.<br \/>\n\u201cThe fuses were replaced and customers were back on supply. Since February 26, there have been a number of short interruptions affecting10 customers \u2013 each one lasting less than three minutes.<br \/>\n\u201cThere is a fault on an underground cable which has proved difficult to locate. However, we are using the latest technology and equipment to trace it and are carrying out excavation work today.<br \/>\n\u201cWe apologise to the customers who have been affected and thank them for their patience.\u201d<br \/>\nWestern Power were not able to say when the work would be completed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AN underground cable fault has been blamed for Cardiff power cuts that have been going on for over a week.
