1. Why does a failure of power supply system not affect safety?
   
  The power supply system is designed and operated under the "fail-safe" principle. The "fail-safe" feature ensures that, in the event of a fault of power supply equipment, the system will be de-energised so that it will cause no harm to other devices or danger to personnel. Under the circumstance that the failure causes the loss of train power supply, the emergency lighting and ventilation fans within the train will continue to operate with power supplying from the standby batteries of the train.
