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

UTILITY THAT WILL BE TESTED:
Emergency Generators & Standby Generators
Physical Plant Electricians will be conducting the testing

ALL EMERGENCY CIRCUITS WILL TRANSFER TO GENERATOR POWER

SCHEDULED DATES:
Wednesday, March 1, 2023 through Wednesday, March, 29, 2023
* Please see detailed schedule below for your buildings dates & details

SCHEDULED TIME:
7:00 AM To 3:00 PM Daily, Monday through Friday

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 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. Testing starts at 7:00AM — and PBSci buildings are scheduled in the morning to minimize impacts. ___________________________________________________________
