Work Details
Test 1: RCD Testing
Loss of power supply to power outlets (RCD testing) from 6.00am to 8.00am (barring any failures).
The work will involve loss of power to power points, other equipment (including computer servers) and lighting.
Please ensure to turn off computers or other electrical devices when there is a power outage
The loss of power will be for approximately 10 to 20 minutes. If non-conforming devices are found, the power outage time may increase due to the time required to replace the defective device.
Test 2: Emergency Lighting Testing
Loss of power supply to lighting circuits between 6.00am and 3.00pm.
During Exit and Emergency lighting tests disruptions will be kept to a minimum, but in some cases due to the current building design only emergency lighting will be available for the duration of the test (generally 90 minutes).
Test 3: Thermoscanning
Non-invasive test with no power shutdown.
Test 4: Emergency Stop
Loss of power supply to all circuits managed by the E-stop from 6:00am to 8.00am
