Founding Texas-West Chapter Leaders-Retired
Last night we had some severe storms blow through our area. About 7:30pm, the power went out, and stayed out until about 2:15am. We automatically assumed everything was ok.
Unfortunately, we heard via Facebook that the outage happened due to damage at a substation, and power was being re-routed from another substation.
Power fluctuated on and off about 10am, then seemed to stay on, however our EMS kept cutting power. Tony checked the EMS (portable, at the pedestal) and saw the error, P6, which is low voltage. It displayed voltage ranging from 98 to 109 throughout the day, and kept the power disconnected. When I came home from work at 5 it was still off, reading PE6, P6. Which is previous error of low voltage, and reading low voltage currently. Later, the power came back on, and stayed on! We checked the EMS again, and found E0, PE3, which is no error present, previous error high voltage! Voltage was then reading around 120,and has been since.
Thankful for the EMS that kept both low and high voltage from our rig, while others (unprotected) in our park probably suffered unknown damage.
