From TarantiJ at upstate.edu Fri May 1 08:05:08 2026 From: TarantiJ at upstate.edu (Jason Tarantino) Date: Fri, 1 May 2026 12:05:08 +0000 Subject: [Cwb-roc-cc-utility] Cancer Center CWB ROC Generator Test Notice Message-ID: TO: All Departments with Space in Cancer Center, CWB and ROC DATE: May 2026 SUBJECT: Generator Test: Cancer Center, CWB and ROC The next monthly test is scheduled for Monday, May 18, 2026. The test, although intended to simulate an actual power outage, has been modified to keep the disruption to hospital services at a minimum. If an actual power outage occurs, the electrical circuits supported by the generator will be without power for 5 to 10 seconds except for those areas which have their own uninterruptible power supplies. Our recent experience suggests that a real power outage can be expected once a year. If you have equipment, processes, etc. that cannot cope with a power outage for this duration, your department should consider installing uninterruptible power supplies (UPS's). THE CANCER CENTER TEST PROCEDURES ARE AS FOLLOWS: ? The emergency generator will start between 5:00AM and 5:05AM and will be used as the source for emergency power for approximately 30 minutes. ? The emergency power will be switched back to normal between 5:30AM and 5:35AM when the generator turns off. ? Emergency outlets (red) and emergency lights could see a blink when the test starts and again when it ends. THE CWB TEST PROCEDURE IS AS FOLLOWS: ? The emergency generator will be started between 6:00AM and 6:05AM and will be used as the source for emergency power for approximately 30 minutes. ? The emergency power will be switched back to normal between 6:30AM and 6:35AM when the generator turns off. ? Emergency outlets (red) and emergency lights could see a blink when the test starts and again when it ends. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the test or the emergency power system, please feel free to contact Marc Dingle, Electrical Facilities Manager at 4-8923 or 680-323-1819 Revised 3-23-21 Your continued cooperation in completing the code mandated emergency diesel generator test is greatly appreciated.
