Test of Circuit breakers in ANA Futura on 12-13 November
On 12-13 November, Akademiska Hus will test the circuit breakers in ANA Futura. This will cause short power outages in the lab- and office building.
The test of circuit breakers will take place in ANA Futura on 12-13 November between 07.00-09.00AM and will cause several short power outages of approx. 1 min each time.
This applies to the whole ANA Futura building, floors 7-9.
See below how you should plan your laboratory work.
Important
- We strongly recommend that no laboratory work is performed during the test. See below.
- Turn off or disconnect sensitive laboratory equipment prior to the test. See below.
- Turn off stationary computers and if applicable own servers/IT systems prior to the test.
- There may be freezer alarms sent out during the power outage. All freezers connected to the alarm system will be checked after the power outage.
Information about laboratory work - what to do and not
- During the test no laboratory activities that require protective ventilation, work in/with drawbenches, class II safety benches and point extraction can be done.
- Laboratory work must be completed before the test begins at 7:00am.
- Since the protective ventilation for ventilated storage cabinets is affected, these units should not be opened during the test. Furthermore, no work with different types of gases requiring protective ventilation can be done.
- Avoid opening e.g. low temperature freezer doors during the planned power outage to cause unnecessary temperature rise in the freezers. The same applies for CO2 incubators to avoid unnecessary temperature drop in them.
- In laboratories with requirements for differential pressure (regulated overpressure and negative pressure) such as in cell culture rooms cannot be guaranteed during the test why opening of these doors should be avoided.
We ask you to plan your activities around this test and apologize for any disruptions this may cause.
