The fault was related to an automatically operated circuit breaker on one of several generators. It would not close automatically, and had to be persuaded, which took some time. Further details will be made available to customers as soon as the post-event investigation is complete. ----- Original Message ----- From: outages-bounces@outages.org <outages-bounces@outages.org> To: reza a <reza@lethalnetworks.com>; outages@outages.org <outages@outages.org> Sent: Fri Aug 31 18:52:35 2012 Subject: Re: [outages] Linode outage in Newark, NJ starting at 3:30 pm It is common to have not only strings of batteries but an ATS, or automatic transfer switch.

Manual intervention was required to get generator power running. Unfortunately before the generator was manually engaged customers on these systems experienced a complete power loss. We are still investigating why the generator did not engage automatically.Utility power has been restored, and transfer back to utility was successful.
