General power cut in Cluster I Building

On August 31th, we will be working in the Low Voltage Panels room in the Basement of the Cluster I building. This room serves the whole Cluster I building.

The work aims to improve the safety and reliability of the power grid in Cluster I, replacing the switching systems on the generators and adding protection against external surges.

So, we will have to switch off power temporarily for some of the work and to test the new switches.

The affected spaces will be:

·       Laboratories in modules A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5 on all floors

·       Animal House and Biomodule

·       SCC rooms (EMPBBC31, EMPBB41, EMPBBC53, EM01BC41 i EM01BC43)

·       Freezer rooms EMS1A24 and EMS1A32

·       Corridor and toilets lighting

·       Servers Room (EMS1B41) only SAI2 electric lines.

General power will be on but there won’t be any back-up generators for 4 hours, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. After that, we will have to run several tests switching from the power grid to the generators (with temporary power cuts).

So, please don’t use any equipment that isn’t absolutely necessary. We apologize for any inconvenience this work may cause.
