Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

You guys are lucky. At least you got to -schedule- installs of that sort of DR gear before an outage occured.

 

it works. mostly. just old.

 

Happened the night of the Christmas party. Just sitting down to dinner when the over temp alarms started.

All the batteries? Done too.



Most of the guts of the UPS were OK. Just that cap and board and the batteries had to be replaced.



Shut everything down, put the UPS in bypass, and started everything back up. UPS was down for almost 2 days waiting for batteries and parts and although the temperature shot up to well over 100*F, nothing bad happened to the equipment.

The UPS isn't primarily DR gear. It's primary function is to provide conditioned power for the data center. It's secondary function is to carry the load during transfer to the generator-so it only needs to hold the load for a minute or so while the generator starts and comes up to speed and the transfer happens.

 

Sunday morning, it was an enjoyable sunrise

 

"schedule"
Matt install the UPS on this day.

 

If it was white I would!

 

Guess NorCal just cant hang. Moab was a clear showing of that.

 

Selling my brand new Cobra 29 LX. It's too big for my truck

From the pics, it looks like it.

 

haha just kidding. It was a hell of a good time. Just wishing more of you guys could make it out there to have fun doing what we all enjoy doing. Would have been fun to see some old friends.

 

Prolly a good thing the pictures are as blurry as they are

I wish I could have made it. Helped a friend move on Saturday though.

 

If I wasn't getting married in a month I woulda been there! Next year!
