FSU to Undergo Campus-Wide Power Outage

by Published: Dec 22, 2011

Ferris State University’s Physical Plant and Consumers Energy have sched­uled a campus-wide power out­age for Dec. 23, 2011.

The power out­age will occur around 9:00 a.m. with power expect­ing to be restored to the pri­mary switchgear within 4–6 hours. Power will be fully restored to the cam­pus on or before 8:00 p.m.

According to Physical Plant staff, the campus-wide power out­age is required to safely update three pri­mary switches located north of the Granger build­ing. The switches, which are cur­rently 600 amps, will be updated to 1200 amps to adjust to increased elec­tri­cal usage through­out cam­pus. Physical Plant Work Control Center staff will be avail­able begin­ning 7:00 a.m. until cam­pus util­i­ties return to normal.

Questions regard­ing the power out­age should be directed to Physical Plant staff at 231−591−2951.
