Center at 4-4230.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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 of this duration, your department should consider installing uninterruptible power supplies (UPS's).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">If you have any questions or concerns regarding the test or the emergency power system, please feel free to contact Larry Blanchard, Associate Director of Utilities at 4-7371 or 315-640-9053.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
