The MRT-3 Twitter account explained that the worn-out electrical sub-components of the motor of their train caused the electrical failure and the subsequent delay.

Passengers were loaded in the next train which arrived 5 minutes later. ??CAUSE:?One cause of electrical failure in motor is worn-out electrical sub-components (i.e. main chopper, regulator, insulator).
