Cabling works for our standby generator are finally underway, and should be completed over the weekend.
We have plans to connect the Automatic Transfer Switchgear to the generator TODAY (06/08/2010), and connect & test the power to the auto-start system over the weekend.
Next week we’ll run a series of tests of the auto-start system, transfer controllers, and the generator iteself (without switching supplies), with a view to a full failover test toward the end of August.
Later than originally planned – delays have been caused by human resources (lack of people time!!), weather, ongoing client projects, and other data centre engineering works. We’d like to thank everyone who’s showed us their support and kept a keen interest in our expansion!
All client and core equipment is protected by UPS anyway, but the generator will add an extra layer of redundancy should there be an extended power outage.
Regards,
Stuart.
