Back on the air again, 5 days after that bitch Ophelia :finger hit, we have seen the light :woot
Power went out at 11am Monday when 2 hours of sustained 110KPH (70MPH) winds took out the main 10Kv line supplying the whole valley south of Cork Airport.
After much fault chasing by the Electrical supply linesmen and 7 faults later they finally fixed the last fault that had our power out. :thumbup
Still hundreds of homes east of us still without power.
Glad I wired the house for a generator 4 years ago now,
at least I had light and water and the freezer was maintained to save all the food in it..
The unfortunate side of living in the country is that the lovely pure clean water we have, comes straight out of the ground 35 metres (110feet) down and the 1 KW submersible pump was pushing the 3KVA generator hard on start up.
Must buy a bigger avr equipped generator with to allow us use the other bits we would like to have working like heat and Internet
