MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Electrical Testing and Power Outage Scheduled for Sunday,
7 March 1971
2 3 FED 1971
1. Electrical generating equipment designed to provide an automatic power
back up capability for the Headquarters Building in the event of commercial power
outage has been installed. Before this equipment can be placed in standby readiness
for these emergencies, acceptance procedures must be planned and implemented to
ascertain that the unit is capable of all required functions with high reliability. In
order to complete the acceptance procedure, i.ntexruptions i.n commercial power will
be required.
~,
2. Three interruptions are planned each lasting from 90 seconds to several
minutes depending on the success of equipment components to function in the proper
sequence prescribed for correct operation. The first interruption of power will
commence at 1000 hours, the second interxuption at 1200 hours, and the third
interruption at 1500 hours.
3. On 12 January 1971 the Headquarters complex experienced the first of a
planned and continuing sequence of power system teats scheduled for the second Tuesday
of every month. With the exception of the frantic power system, each of the three
interruptions scheduled for 7 March will affect the Headquarters complex in generally
the same manner as the test of 12 January 1971. There will be no interruption of
power. flow on the frantic system during the 7 March testing procedures.
4. The attachments contain pertinent details concerning the specifics of the
7 March tests. .
S. Upon successful completion of the acceptance testing procedures the equipment
manufacturer is responsible to provide two weeks of operator training. The academic
portion of this training will be conducted during the five working days. Actual operation
of the equipment, to supplement the academic training, is scheduled for 14 March and
21 March between the hours of 0900 and 1200. Nq outages are required for these
training procedures. However, there is an increased pro~~if~~of voltage or frequency
transients due to operator error or equipment failure. In addition, there exist various
combinations of equipment failures and/or errors which could culminate in a momentary
power interru
