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