Electrical events z19/08 18:42: Electrical disturbance of 400 kV EDF due to storm, main PS magnet tripped. No electrical equipment switched off. y19:15 PS running again z19/08 21:08: Compensator 1 BE tripped due to storm. SPS and PS stopped. y21:21 PS running again y21:40 Meyrin filters fall out. PS still ok y22:14 Compensator in BE ok, SPS running y22:29 Meyrin filters ok z20/08 00:34: Compensator 1 BE tripped due to storm. PS and SPS stopped y1:30 PS and SPS running again Niels Schionneman ST/MO/TCR

Electrical events z20/8 06:48 Short circuit in transformer EHT3 BE yTransfo was idling but the short circuit caused an unbalance in the network and made the compensators trip. yDemi water off Prevessin and Meyrin yPS and SPS stopped xElectrical problem solved at 7:20 xCooling PS ok at 9:20 xCooling SPS ok at 10:20 Niels Schionneman ST/MO/TCR

Electrical events z29/8 18:47 Explosion in 18kV breaker sub- station 7 y7 18kV breakers in the PS loop trip yThe 66kV supply for the transfo SEH1 tripped. Meyrin off tension yAuto transfer switched to EOS after 5 sec xThe 18kV trips due to malfunction of protection equipment/selectivity problem yPS and SPS stopped for 24h Niels Schionneman ST/MO/TCR

CV events concerning PS z3/7 14:20 Water leak alarm in PS yDemanded access but found no leak. Drains were blocked and condense water from air condition caused the water level to raise y15:33 PS running again z4/7 21:43 Cooling problem in 361 yMCR can not switch on main magnet due to high temperature in 361 yVentilator in cooling tower not running on max speed y23:43 PS running again Niels Schionneman ST/MO/TCR

CV events concerning PS z15/7 9:01 PS demi water stopped yA UPS supplying the PLCs for the demi water stations had tripped due to water infiltration yUPS bypassed and PLCs and water stations started y11:25 PS running again z19/8 2:43 and 7:19 Demi water station 359 stopped. PS stopped yStation stopped twice due to heavy storms. Started station manually y3:05 and 7:39 Cooling ok Niels Schionneman ST/MO/TCR

CV events concerning PS y20/8 19:00 Demi water for TT2 stopped xNo beam for SPS xNo alarms received in TCR xMagnet in TT2 supplied from TOF line. To be changed x20:20 Cooling station in 378 started again y23/8 20:15 Demi water temperature too high in East area xPumping station running on max xPrimary water temperature at 25 degrees due to very warm weather. xInforming MCR.
