Uncontrolled shutdown electricity central area
Following an ENEL power outage of approximately 80 minutes, one of the two rescue generators in the central area failed to start.
Failure to start the generator did not generate any alarm, as it was in a manual start condition, due to our error during the last maintenance last Tuesday.
Without ENEL grid and generator power, the systems were powered by UPS batteries and then, once exhausted, they became discharged, generating an uncontrolled shutdown of the central area (central bulding, control building, mode cleaner).

A power failure also occurred at 1500N and was recovered only on Monday 2. The clear reason has not been reported, but is suspected the diesel generator, since it already happened multiple times in the past. The vacuum laboratory instruments and ongoing experiments were strongly affected by this outage. In addition, the network system is not correctly connected to the UPS power source. This issue has been raised multiple times over the years but has not yet been properly addressed. A permanent solution is strongly recommended to prevent further disruptions and to ensure continuity of operations during power failures.
