  I've checked the 1982 building alteration plans for the Micro Lab 
and have found that HF.58 was replaced by a central hood exhaust. All
wiring for those rooms was supposed to be removed at that time(Ref.
E-1,M-4 Dec. 1981 of Bld. Alt. plans.)

Last night and today I have had problems pumping down my system.
(The Ultek.)  Three times when I have turned on the two ion pumps
I have tripped the B-6 circuit breaker.  I believe that this is
because of a lot of the Top Gun power supplies being hooked up
or that the helium leak detector is plugged in on this circuit
as well.

P: Ultek machine tripping breaker B6 . This is the normal power
   circuit for the Ultek.
S: Unplugged the hld from a random a.c. plug it was powered from (B6).
 
   Placed the hld on the dedicated plug it was meant for.

(hld techs please note: Careful of where you plug your machine in.
 As we already know, it draws much current and should be operated
 from outlets that do not have critical equipment already plugged in.)

I found the power system has problem for the whole lab. None of
the machine in the lab can be used. I called Bob at home and is
is coming to fix the problem. Probably the ptherm problem I reported
earlier is due to this. Therefore the ptherm may have no problem at
all.

Besides problems from the motor generator in the basement,
Fred Archibald and Ken Lutz have both reported the loss of
electricity for up to a few cycles. They believe that the
cogen plant put on-line by the University fails to provide
fully uninterruptible power when it switches to and from
PG&E as a source. This problem are being investigated by Wil
Zeilinger.

The Microlab experienced a scheduled power shutdown November 5th from
7:00 to 14:00. The shutdown was related to work on the substation at
HMB and effected the whole building.

Robert Norman and I both came to work at 7:00 and proceeded with an 
orderly shutdown of Microlab equipment including all vacuum system.
Two people were enough to accomplish this within the 1 hr. allotted.

The power was restored on schedule; however, an alarm in Rm.201 prevented
us from getting into the building until 2:15. Even Stateler
and I had both arrived at 1:00 trying to get an early start
and to inspect for possible air/N2 leaks. The above prevented this
although a cursory check was done in the morning and several
air leaks repaired.

On hand for the restart were Robert Norman, Even Stateler, 
Steve Hoagland and myself. The overtime was as follows:

Even Stateler     6 hrs (X 1.5 = 9 hrs)
Steve Hoagland    2 hrs (X 1.5 = 3 hrs)
Robert Norman     8 hrs (x 1.5 = 12 hrs)
In addition I spent 6 hrs of straight time.


All equipment was restarted without problems and the lab was
fully operational by late Sunday.  In view of the number of 
systems in this lab it would be hard to do a complete reboot 
in much less time.

In addition, the restart of the air compressor and dryer in 
the basement and the recirc system on the roof was effected 
by Microlab staff.  No one appeared from the University to 
preform these task.  Loss of air pressure due to a power failure 
has serious consequences with regard to the steam valves.

I understand more shutdowns will be required; however, no
dates have been made available to us.

I have just been informed that PFM wants to have a full power
shutdown to Cory Hall, Saturday, Jan 20th. A calculation on
lost income and overtime will have to be made and turned
into Wil's office for reimbusement. An announcement will be
forthcoming.

>>> 'power' problem from bob -- Tue Jan 16 11:07:41 1990 <<<

There will be a power shutdown of Cory Hall this Saturday.
Robert Norman and I will be here @ 7:00 Am to power down
the lab. Robert Norman, Phill Guillory and Evan Stateler
will be here along with me to power up the lab.

The labuser storage area in the hallway of the newlab
has a new light switch. Simply entering the room activates
a motion detector which turns on the light. The light then
turns off 1 minute after the room is vacated.

This allievates the problem with the original switch being
outside the room in a very inconvenient place.

In addition,  an electronic ballast and new flourescent lamps
were added.

	I looked thru the lab to see what was turned off when they
turned off the power to the lights to check for a short in the system.

	The cpa is off as well as the cooling for the lams, as well
as the as200, the mech pump for the cssem and the N2 and O2 flow monitors

The DOFM electricians reconnected the power panels to the

If the transformer is defective, it is intermittently so.


The RF power supply of the CPA machine was found backfeeding
voltage. It has been unplugged for now.

There were 2 power glitches this am around 6:30 am. I noticed them
at home while showering so they were in the main utility grid. The
lab has been checked and 2 pieces of equipment were effected.
ptherm2 was alarming and the gartek lost it's cryo's. The gcaws
lamp remained up.

It is advisable to check over equipment while going through the lab
so we are assured we are up on everything for the weekend.

You had asked how much power the Microfabrication Laboratory
is using. The answer is....................................:

1. The newlab..........153.3  kW
2. The oldlab.......... 17.1  kW
---------------------------------
        total.......... 170.4 kW

This figure is an average as based on the BMI 3060 power meter
that was employed for the readings. The oldlab also reflects
no lpe furnaces running at the time. I would think a +/- factor
of some value should be added.
