[QUOTE="LAV, post: 1080865, member: 1123"] Hehe, ja, EKSDOM/EISHKOM, but here in Vanderchopperpark we have a double whammy, as the municipal network is also vrot. Protection bypassed in many cases, LV and HV side. Terribly neglected infrastructure. I have seen some scary stuff in substations in this area. So, beside all the ESKOM fun, we had another extended outage due to an overhead HT line failure. About a week before this, we were without power for 3 days due to a fault on an underground 88kV cable... I invested in a small backup setup about two years ago and it was the best thing I could have done. I can live without many conveniences, but green meat and warm beer? No can do! I just need to get the geyser replaced with either solar or gas. [/QUOTE]
