[QUOTE="adie, post: 1121222, member: 2428"] I've had a few power surge issues over the years, though not necessarily because of loadshedding. I lived with a faulty transformer outside my gate. THAT was a PITA! Try explaining to Eksdom that yours is the only house without power... Lots of lightning here and my Clearline surge protector is fried after plugging it back in (I unplug when storms are about). My whole place was charged- laptop tingly for days as it was a dry storm (static). Once it rained all was well. The tecchie who inspects for insurance told me someone measured around 600v at the wall when a substation blew. He's also seen blue arc from the wall socket to an unplugged cord and plaster falling off walls- and the walls cracking- due to lightning. [/QUOTE]
