    Magnetic Field Trouble in Los Angeles: Equipment Failures

    The lights never dim, they go off and on rather quickly cycling maybe every second or two, and sometimes does not result in a tripped breaker. I would not put too much emphasis on the glowing wires, since this might be an exageration. The wires do make some pretty loud crackling noises...

    Magnetic Field Trouble in Los Angeles: Equipment Failures

    Yes, enclosed and locked in steel panels over night but doors usually open during the day. this doesn't make any difference. As i said before the breaker panels should act as pretty good faraday cages. The comments seem logical re breakers. So far no signs of wearing out. The last guy in...

    Magnetic Field Trouble in Los Angeles: Equipment Failures

    It's a perceived little or no load. what I mean is that there were normal or no loads perceived but there could have been some unkown mysterious load or spike that has yet to be measured during an event.

    We have so many meters in the building that it's probably been done, going to be done , or not enough meters to do everything, but i will try to push this one too.

    Magnetic Field Trouble in Los Angeles: Equipment Failures

    oh yea:approve: With regard to proximity of issues, There are 2 single story concrete shear walls embeded within the office. BTW shear walls should be footings to truss roof to be effective. We seem to have the highest field readings above those walls at the second story level. This would...

    Magnetic Field Trouble in Los Angeles: Equipment Failures

    I will try to get my expert to summarize because the stuff he is monitoring is beyond my comprehension and memory. My attempt at a summary would be the following: My company is in an 80,000sf section of a 125,000sf bldg, which is a modern, 5 year old, concrete steel reinforced, tilt up style...

    Magnetic Field Trouble in Los Angeles: Equipment Failures

    I would seriously consider it if you really think you can solve my problem. I'll try anything! It is just a matter of prioritizing. I really must get a new FUSED circuit run directly to my phone/computer room without going anywhere near the wall that has panel problems with a emergency...

    Magnetic Field Trouble in Los Angeles: Equipment Failures

    I don't have the energy to write much tonight. Just wanted to let you know I am reading and taking advice as may be appropriate. Today we had a local university proffesor at the building and he was very perplexed and interested to say the least. We showed him pictures of the breakers on...

    Magnetic Field Trouble in Los Angeles: Equipment Failures

    I was at the building for most of yesterday. I am afraid that there is more going on with the wiring than I thought. I personally helped to track down three problems that we still do not fully understand, but seem to be related to what we think was done by a very bad electrician who tapped legs...

    Magnetic Field Trouble in Los Angeles: Equipment Failures

    The division of DWP that handles the DC line says that 2 of our events coincide with some sort of ramping up or down with their line, but two other events happened during a time that the lines were down for maintenance. So not much help here so far.

    Magnetic Field Trouble in Los Angeles: Equipment Failures

    I will suggest it. I talked to the dwp guy today that had a meter on the water pipes at the outside of building. He faxed over the graph and told me that everything was at or well below acceptable levels. I am going to the building in the morning with my hvac guy to check out some wiring...

    Magnetic Field Trouble in Los Angeles: Equipment Failures

    Thanks Danger. Unfortunately more bad news today, phones and computers are down! I will try to have more details later as to why it happened. We think possibly the new Dmark shielded phone line and equipment might have contributed to todays problems.
