Three observations from the incident report. Firstly, thank you for your transparency in reporting this. Second, I understand from the IR that the generators were stopped before the load was transfered to utility power? Would it not have been better to leave the generators running until the switch to utility power could be completed? Finally, when it became apparent that the switch back to utility power had failed, could you not restart the generators?

Stuff happens, all the time. Though it’s shame that such a simple mistake like providing power to the LV in order for it to work had not been forseen before, thus trashing your 100% uptime records. Well done though, took care of it in just a couple of hours.

It was a big issue but given the speed at which it happened I don’t think there is anything you could have done to make it any quicker or easier – well done Coreix Team!
