    Hi guys

    Happy New Year to all.

    All indications are that from next week, load shedding is once again the in thing.

    Saw something very interesting today on an installation and thought I'd share.

    To prevent appliances etc. from being damaged as a result of power surges when the power is turned back on after load shedding, this clever man had a delay on timer and contactor fitted on the main incoming supply to his house. The timer is set for 2 minutes so the power to his house comes on 2 minutes after everyone else's, but without any surges or spikes. Thought that this was very clever. What says you ?

    Cheers and peace out

    Derek
