17EXTENDED POWER LOSS
In the event of extended power loss to a facility certain precautionary measures should
be taken depending on the geographical location and environment of the facility:
•
Unnecessary electrical equipment and appliances should be turned off in
the event that power restoration would surge causing damage to
electronics and effecting sensitive equipment.
•
Facilities with freezing temperatures should turn off and drain the following
lines in the event of a long term power loss.
·
Fire sprinkler system
·
Standpipes
·
Potable water lines
·
Toilets
•
Add propylene-glycol to drains to prevent traps from freezing
•
Equipment that contain fluids that may freeze due to long term exposure
to freezing temperatures should be moved to heated areas, drained of
liquids, or provided with auxiliary heat sources.
Upon Restoration of heat and power:
•
Electronic equipment should be brought up to ambient temperatures
before energizing to prevent condensate from forming on circuitry.
•
Fire and potable water piping should be checked for leaks from freeze
damage after the heat has been restored to the facility and water turned
back on.
