Power Knocked Out at Office Park for Two Hours Monday

Power went out to several businesses in both Beverly and Danvers on Monday morning.

An equipment problem outside a Cherry Hill Drive business in Danvers on Monday morning knocked out power to an entire office park that sits in Beverly and Danvers.

The problem was with an elbow inside a junction cabinet feeding the transformer at Medtronic at 37 Cherry Hill Drive in Danvers, according to Hamid Jaffari, Director Engineering and Operations for Danvers Electric.

It failed and electricity was cut to all of the office park, in both Beverly and Danvers for about two hours, starting at about 9 a.m.
