SUBJECT:     Generator and Fire Service Recall Test: East Wing


                                                              The next monthly test is scheduled for Wednesday, August 20, 2025.

                                                        THE EAST WING GENERATOR TEST PROCEDURES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
·         The test will be announced over the paging system at around 5:00AM.
·         The emergency generators will be started between 5:00AM and 5:05AM and used as the source for the emergency power feed for approximately 60 minutes.
·         Emergency power will be switched back to the electrical feed between 6:30AM and 6:45AM and the generators will be turned off.
·         Completion of the test will be announced over the paging system.

·         Users of emergency power will notice a series of sequential blinks at the beginning of the East Wing test (one per electrical zone) as each of the 21 emergency power switches is engaged.  At the end of the test, all areas will blink nearly together as the switches return their respective areas to normal power.
If an unavoidable emergency arises close to the time that the emergency generator test is scheduled and you feel that a brief power interruption would be detrimental to patient care, immediately contact the Maintenance Operations Center at 4-4230.

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.
