Here is what happend to the building power feed. At around 17:30 one fuse breaker at the EWZ building entrace cabinet triggered and took out phase 2. It took quite some time to figure that one out because that EWZ cabinet is locked and only EWZ has the key to it. So the guys from IXEurope called EWZ. Finally they arrived but didn't have a proper replacement fuse (400A). Guys manage to get ahold of a 315Amp one and plug it in. That is when power in the building was restored. I think that was around 18:30 or a bit later. Even later a 400Amp fuse breaker was delivered and swapped for the smaller one. As opposed to the large UPS at IXEurope (which run on three phases) I was able to plug over my (Internet Pipeline) one phase UPS's away from phase 2 to the still working ones. So the system interruption was minimal for me. Unfortunatly all my Upstreams (which are in IXEurope naturally) went away and were only restored after IXEurope restored power to their customers. -- Andre ---------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maillist-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/swinog%40swinog.ch/
