Please read the attached memo regarding this month’s generator test for TU-7 / Children’s Pavilion.


TO:      All Departments with Space in TU-7 / Children’s Pavilion

DATE:             July 2025

SUBJECT:     Generator Test: TU-7 / Children’s Pavilion


Generator testing for TU-7 / Children’s Pavilion is scheduled for   Tuesday, July 15, 2025, as follows:

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).




  *   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 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 will 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.

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