Please read the attached memo regarding this month's generator tests for Nappi Health & Wellness.


To:              All Departments with space in Nappi Health & Wellness

Date:           July 2025

Subject:       Generator testing: Nappi Health & Wellness
_____________________________________________________________________

The next monthly test is scheduled for Friday, July 18, 2025.

The test, although intended to simulate an actual power outage, has been modified to keep the disruption to services at a minimum. If an actual power outage, the electrical circuits supported by the generator will be without power for 3 to 10 seconds except for those areas which have their own uninterruptible power supplies. Our recent experience suggest 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).


THE NAPPI HEALTH & WELLNESS PROCEDURES ARE AS FOLLOWS:

- The emergency generator will be started between 5:00 AM and 5:05AM and will be used as the source for emergency power for approximately 30 mins

- The emergency power will be switched back to normal between 5:30AM and 5:35AM when the generator turns off

- Emergency (red) outlets and emergency lights could see a blink when the test starts and again when it ends.

If you have any question or concerns regarding the test or the emergency power system, please feel free to contact Marc Dingle, Electrical Facilities Manager, @ 4-8923 or 680-323-1819.

Your continued cooperation in completing the code mandated emergency diesel generator testing is greatly appreciated.
