Load shedding from 12pm - 2 pm ... my earth leakage unit tripped again ... went and had a look at the recorder ... let me put it to you like this ... best you check your insurance is going to pay for damages to electronic equipment.

You need to install surge protection ... a trip connect ... a surge arrestor at each plug point ... a contactor with a delay timer and every other protective device that you can think of ... yes it is that bad.

It seems the grid cant handle the load switching ... I am sure eskom have installed relay which switch off the power first them energise the new area being powered ... it looks to me like the grid cant handle the switching .. .what they should have in place is a ripple relay system like they did in the old days ... it was mounted inside every ones DB.
