first day on the job

The date was May 23^rd 2011 and it was my first day reporting to the Broadcast & Operations Engineers department of Astro.  The first day was all about getting familiar with the areas and equipment that was going to be dealt with.

The first place I was brought to see was the broadcast generator room. I had never been in one of these rooms before so it was a rather thrilling experience. Before today, I hadn’t seen an industrial generator. Astro has 3 generator sets in this room. It works on 2 generators and has the 3^rd in case of problems with either of the other 2.  

Today, I  seen  a couple of things I hadn’t been able to see before. These things include carbon dioxide cylinders, bus bars, battery chargers, load bank, etc. I was introduced to Uninterruptable Power Supplies ( UPS), Main Distribution Supply ( MDS), Emergency Distribution Supply (EDS), Building Management System( BMS)
