The purpose of this outage is to perform maintenance and testing on the ‘W’ feed portion of the NTA main electrical switchgear. Facilities electricians will perform switching, to isolate and de-energize the ‘W’ feed. Facilities electricians and Service Contractors will inspect and test the breakers, relays, and major components of the de-energized portion of the switchgear. Once all inspections and testing are complete, facilities electricians will restore power to normal operation.
This outage will only affect CSRB-NTA. The Chiller that is on the ‘W’ feed will lose power for the duration of the outage. The outage will also affect all normal lighting and receptacle power on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and (5th lighting) floors. NTAEMG1 will run for the duration of this outage and after a short power disruption to allow the generator to get up to speed will provide power to lights and equipment connected to the emergency power system. As a precautionary measure, the 4th floor biohazard area will be closed during this outage.
