Replace existing transformer due to imminent failure. The transformer is leaking oil, so failure is imminent unless corrective action is taken. |
All power will be down, such as lights, receptacles, and any equipment not backed up by an emergency generator. The communication to the TES tanks will also be down. If you have sensitive research equipment or systems you know can be impacted by a power outage and you have not connected them to uninterrupted power devices, such as UPS and surge protectors, please plan to disconnect and turn off the equipment for the duration of the shutdown to avoid any damage. Additional information on how to power down your equipment may be found from our partner at EH&S: https://ehs.ucr.edu/laboratory/utilities. It is recommended that any equipment using emergency power be plugged into a red, e-power outlet, such as -80 freezers, spectrometers, and air compressors. |
