The Owen Sound Campus will remain closed this evening, Thursday, Jan. 19. Power has been restored and the campus will open as normal on Friday, Jan. 20.

At Owen Sound Campus over the noon hour today (Thursday, Jan. 19), a 100-amp breaker failed. When breakers blow, they make a loud bang and this did – there was not an explosion, but the breaker failure did scorch the electrical switchboard and this will need repairs.

The cause of the power outage appears to have been a loose connection that overheated and caused the failure.

The purpose of a breaker is to protect against even further damage from an electrical fault and the system worked as intended.
