I'm not sure whether this is the right place for this but anyway...
So this morning Im in a choir rehearsal running a few mics and suddenly all the light go out, an almighty bang comes from the PA and the emergency lights cut in. A few seconds later the lights come back on and everything is normal... For some reason power went out to the entire building and came back by itself. Nowhere else in the school was affected and no equipment was damaged. The weird thing is that the power came back. I thought it could have been a problem with the AC when the compressor cut in, tripping the breakers.
As far as I know, breakers don't trip and come back do they??? Anyway I checked all three main power boards for the building and nothing has tripped and all the surge divertors were still operating. I checked with Admin and there were no sparkeys working in the school, and the only other way power could be cut to only the one building is to get into the Pad mounted sub-station and trip a breaker in there and reset it, but admin assures me no-one was there...
Does anyone have any ideas why this would have happened? If so I want to work on having it fixed.
