When half of the power was taken down for maintenance, it caused a surge on the remaining side that tripped the breaker even though the circuit runs at less than 80% under failure conditions. The breaker has been reset, and things are coming back online. -----Original Message----- From: MICE Discuss [mailto:MICE-DISCUSS@LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET] On Behalf Of Jay Hanke Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2021 8:00 AM To: MICE-DISCUSS@LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET Subject: [MICE-DISCUSS] MICE Issues Cologix has done power maintenance in Suite 100 that has inadvertently affected the MN VoIP remote switch as well as most of the MICE monitoring.

That's unfortunate! Since this could easily happen again, what could be done to troubleshoot and/or mitigate the issue?

Building diversity. Having all of our eggs in one basket is just asking for trouble. We were affected as well, but thankfully we have battery in our cage and were able to run until Cologix was able to amend the issue. I haven't requested the RFO from them yet but will be doing so shortly.

The powerstrip that had the breaker trip is being replaced with one that is slower acting to last through the surge that happens when all power transferred from the B to the A side. I also agree with Dean that we need to diversify MICE some more. -----Original Message----- From: MICE Discuss [mailto:MICE-DISCUSS@LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET] On Behalf Of Frank Bulk Sent: Monday, April 12, 2021 9:13 AM To: MICE-DISCUSS@LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET Subject: Re: [MICE-DISCUSS] MICE Issues That's unfortunate!

We saw similar issues with the power work and had a rack completely lose power during the maintenance despite being dual fed and well under 50% load. On Mon, Apr 12, 2021, 9:24 AM Jeremy Lumby <jlumby@mnvoip.com> wrote:

Would an ATS that was between the power strips and each piece of gear have helped? https://www.wti.com/collections/power-transfer-switch We use them quite successfully.

Possibly. I have only ever used them for devices that have only one power supply. All of the impacted equipment had 2 supplies. I think breaker tripping below it's rating is the biggest issue. One of the Cologix techs mentioned to me that since the power strip was on the back (hot) side of the rack, the increased temp might have allowed it to trip easier than expected. -----Original Message----- From: MICE Discuss [mailto:MICE-DISCUSS@LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET] On Behalf Of Frank Bulk Sent: Monday, April 12, 2021 3:31 PM To: MICE-DISCUSS@LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET Subject: Re: [MICE-DISCUSS] MICE Issues Would an ATS that was between the power strips and each piece of gear have helped? https://www.wti.com/collections/power-transfer-switch We use them quite successfully.
