I'll bet they won't get fined £90,000 though so it will be us that end up paying it. Good work though. Andy

That cable was installed in the late 90's so not that old and being in a field i'll bet it's been hit by farmers machinery. Andy

I went for my usual stroll yesterday and noticed straight away that on one of the poles the feed cable from the landfill site generator and the lightning arrestors had gone from pole as it was there last week. It looks like this might be the cause of the outage last friday as it seems that...

Since my last communication with electricity northwest on friday night (details in pm) and the information you have provided i am happy that the problem will be resolved eventually. I do understand that there are other problems worse or similar i know this has to be planned so we will await...

Thanks for the info westie and 90 mins to change a transformer as it takes 3-4 hours to repair a broken cable up here. Andy

I wrote out an email and submitted it and was it was too long so i had to cut bits out and rewrite some of it as it did not say there was a character limit on the web page. Anyway i received a phonecall this morning so i explained the problem and Electricity northwest is sending someone out...

Assuming that was the supply for the caravan site and their leccy was on did you have a mobile gen set for their supply while you did the tranny change. We had one when they changed our tranny,By the way what is the max output on your gen sets. Andy

Maybe he fancied a good smoke but they deserve what they get. This is what they do cause when they don't know what they are doing. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1271129/Firefighters-called-71-homes-massive-power-surge.html I bet they would kick up a stink if this happened in...

I was given a samsung analogue tv/pcmonitor with the same symptoms and i found all 5 470UF caps in the power supply were bulging so replacements solved the problem. This cap problem affects all samsung sets because they used crap caps and samsung are repairing some sets out of guarantee FOC...

A possible reason for this problem could be a faulty streetlamp during the hours of darkness,On some occasions the lamps looked ok but radiating interference at quite some distance. Sometimes it can just affect one persons installation as it would depend on how good the signal is at the...
