UPDATE FROM F & S:
Switching
is complete. We energized, de-energized, and then re-energized. This was needed
in order to change rotation. The new transformer is now on. We will reach out
in the near future to start the process of scheduling the final outage.
To All in CLSL-A:
This message was sent by F & S regarding the new
transformer for CLSL-A:
The transformer has
been replaced in CLSL“A” building basement electrical room. We would like to
energize the transformer Tuesday morning 1/23/18. This is to energize the
transformer only. We will not be connecting any load to it yet. This should not
affect any electrical power in the building, however, to be safe and side on
the extreme case you could experience a ~10V sag for a few seconds, perhaps
twice, between 7:30A and 8:30A . This could cause a small brownout with this
much of a sag in voltage if the extreme scenario was to occur. Some sensitive
laser equipment may need to be shut down, in addition to the NMRs. After the
transformer has been energized we can schedule a time to connect the loads and
return the system back to normal.
If you feel this may affect any equipment in your
labs, we recommend you take the necessary precautions ahead of this event. If you have any questions or concerns, please
let me know ASAP.
