Arena Switching Procedure

1. Dalhousie University was performing maintenance on electrical equipment that powers buildings like the Memorial Arena. 2. The procedure involved de-energizing equipment by opening circuit breakers and disconnect switches at the Arena Electrical Vault and Killam Vault to safely work on a breaker and transformer. 3. After maintenance was completed, the procedure was reversed by closing circuit breakers and disconnect switches to re-energize the buildings.
