Oct 18, 2022 | All Division, Facilities Management

PBSci Facilities Notification

 

LOCATION(S):   
Campus Wide (See schedule below)*

UTILITY THAT WILL BE TESTED:    
Emergency & Standby Generators 

Physical Plant Electricians will be conducting the testing

 

***ALL EMERGENCY CIRCUITS WILL TRANSFER TO GENERATOR POWER***

 

SCHEDULED DATES: 
Monday October 31, 2022 THROUGH Monday November 28, 2022
* Please see detailed schedule below for your buildings dates & details (PBSci buildings are scheduled 11/07/22 through 11/28/22)

SCHEDULED TIME: 
7:00 AM – 3:30 PM daily
*Transfers will occur between 7:00 AM and 12 PM.

REASON: 
Planned Maintenance & Testing of Emergency Generators

IMPACTS: 
The Electric shop is scheduled to perform the Emergency Generator planned maintenance (PM) at your facility. There are many generators, this is why it is spread over 4 weeks to accomplish the testing.  You may hear the generator running during the testing. There won’t be a power interruption, although circuits on Emergency or  Standby Generator power will experience a “flicker” while transferring.  

  • If you have sensitive equipment that will be affected during the brief transfer period, please be advised to power them down and to not have ongoing experiments during this time that could be interrupted.
  • Due to the nature of this campus wide planned testing, an exact timeframe for the transfer of power to generators is hard to specify, the testing takes approximately 1.5 hours to perform.

    Dates & details are as follows:
    * These dates are subject to change should emergencies arise.
