Administrative Message August 9, 2004 To: Campus Community From: Ilse Kolbus, Director, Physical Plant Re: Electrical Power Shutdown Planned for Labor Day Weekend 2004On Saturday, September 4, 2004, beginning at 6 a.m., electrical power to the campus will be shutdown for eighteen hours. Power will be restored at approximately 12 a.m. on September 5. This will mean, that unless otherwise noted, facilities will be without power for up to eighteen hours. This complete electrical utility shutdown will allow campus electricians to perform maintenance and testing on the campus’ 12,000-Volt sub-station equipment. The Cogeneration Plant will be on-line to power Science Hill buildings. These buildings include: All other upper campus buildings will be without power, with the exception of buildings that maintain stand-by electrical generators. Stand-by generators supply power mostly to life safety systems, fire alarms, and egress lighting, but do not provide power for general operations. Lower campus buildings are not on the campus electrical grid and are powered independently by PG&E. The following areas will not be affected by the utility shutdown: In preparation for this electrical shutdown and prior to 6 a.m., Saturday, 9/4/04, we advise that all affected departments identify and turn off computer equipment and/or any equipment that might be sensitive to power fluctuations. Sensitive equipment should remain off through 12 a.m., 9/5/04, to protect from any transient voltage or current fluctuations that could occur during the high voltage switching process. For information during the shutdown call Power Plant Operators @ 9-2734.
