<div>Dear All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Due to the likelihood of power surges in MSI/WTB on Wednesday the 13th November, it will be necessary to power down all of the microscopes in the Imaging Facility for the duration. Please note:</div>
<ol>
<li>Shutdown applies to Light Microscopy, Electron Microscopy and OMX - if you have booked a microscope for Wednesday you will need to reschedule your session</li><li>Please do not book a new slot on Wednesday, you won't be able to use it</li><li>Under absolutely no circumstances should you power up a microscope that has been turned off, even if you have been advised that the power supply to the building has been returned to normal</li></ol>
<div>We will do our best to minimise disruption but please bear with us – it's going to take us some time to do a full shut down and restart on all of the equipment.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards,</div>
<div>Sam</div>

On Wednesday 13th November, there will be a considerable amount of electrical HV switching across campus, including in the Wellcome building substation. This will impact electrical supply in WTB and MSI only.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><u>The
power supply to JBC will be unaffected.</u></div>

Estates and Buildings have advised although there is no anticipated impact on electrical supply, there is always a slight risk, whilst this work is going on. Spikes on the supply will be inevitable and although the risk of a complete outage is extremely
unlikely this cannot be eliminated. If there is a power failure, then the generators will be activated which will feed the essential maintained supplies.</div>
