We have recieved an update from Global Switch:
Our specialist OEM contractors have confirmed that they need to complete additional intrusive testing and investigations. These works will be carried out using our planned, controlled process and procedures to protect your current supplies and services and the safety of all involved in this work.
The switchboard that we are investigating is constructed in three sections and we need to isolate each section one at a time to carry out these investigations and confirm there are no issue with each section before it can be re-energised. This work is underway currently – specialist test equipment has been delivered to site to facilitate these works.

Update
We have recieved an update from Global Switch:
This morning at approximately 8:10am Global Switch experienced an Emergency Mode on Power C. This is quite common and happens whenever the Powerstation notices a small fluctuation on the Mains supply.
The Power Station switched to generators by design until the supply is healthy and then revert back to mains. Whilst the Station was running on Generators it appears LONE experienced a fault on the outboard supply which feeds Levels 3,8,9 and 10 which resulted in the Powerstation shutting down and going into Full Bypass. The ‘B’ supply is currently offline with the A supply active.
