SUBJECT: Duquesne Light Power Issue
Several off- campus buildings experienced a momentary power disruption this afternoon due to a power quality issue from Duquesne Light. FMS crews have checked systems in the affected buildings and we recommend departments remotely review their equipment to confirm normal operation. Buildings affected include:
- Mellon Institute
- SEI
- UTDC
- INI
- 205 S. Craig
- 300 S. Craig
- 311 S. Craig
- 407 S. Craig
The power issue occurred at approximately 1:50PM. Issues with Duquesne Light power supply can cause momentary voltage sags, phase imbalances or power spikes that may impact sensitive electrical components. Anything powered down for the campus closure would not be affected. We recommended remotely confirming that any operating systems are still on-line and normal.
FMS staff are available for on-campus support to visually verify anything that can’t be reviewed remotely. Please contact our Service Response Center at 412.268.2910 for assistance.
