SUBJECT: Power Blip Affecting Multiple Buildings
Multiple buildings on campus have experienced a power blip this afternoon affecting the Duquesne Light power utility. FMS crews are checking systems in buildings, and we recommend departments review their equipment to confirm normal operation. The affected buildings we are aware of are listed below:
Scott Hall Nano Lab
CUC
East Campus Garage
Boss Hall + McGill + Scobel + Welch
Margaret Morrison Apts
Donner
Margaret Morrison Carnegie Hall
Hall of Arts
College of Fine Arts
Hunt Library
Warner Hall
Cyert Hall
FMS
Issues with Duquesne Light power supply can cause breakers to trip, momentary voltage sags, phase imbalances or power spikes that may impact sensitive electrical components. We recommended 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 FMCS Service Response Center at 412.268.2910 for assistance.
