[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1099514, member: 746"] I'd say 90% of the time If you live far away from an industrial area and your local sub-station is not over-loaded (too many connections) then you "should" be ok. I'm talking about Cape Town now, 60% of which has its own electricity supply The improvement if your mains is compromised by industrial activity is considerable But it must compensate for brown-outs Of the devices you mention above, a Macbook has a well-regulated power supply anyway, plus a large battery But mains powered devices will benefit My own mains comes from a PV-supplied inverter which never deviates from 230V and 50Hz. The inverter's display shows the state of the incoming mains. Right now it is 224V and 49.1Hz. The sub-station serving my house is in the next street and gets the 6500 volt underground supply from a large distribution station 2km away. They can do nothing about frequency drops [/QUOTE]
