Title: Power Outage ~ 28th March 2010~!
Post by: Michael Alexander on March 27, 2010, 05:10:03 PM
Don't forget, Eskom is doing work 2morrow on their lines ..... so the power/juice/krag/energy/current/voltage will be off from 08h00 till 16h00 sunday.......

Mmmh! I was just wondering if other places in the world shut down the grid for the day to service the powerlines?

notfair

Some operators used to phase the gens without a dip they had the magic touch and others just couldn't get it and would dump the whole station at times

Nah, Alfie's still up to speed...    image21  it's Eishkom that had problems at Aggenuys. A big job there was the need for the extended shutdown today; usually the maintainance stops are from 08h00 to 16h00.

Mike@, Oranjemund, Alexander Bay, Port Nolloth, Kleinzee, Baken, Koeboes, Steinkopf, Vioolsdrift, Springbok... These folk don't have or even had power stations. They like us are fed from what are called radial feed lines which means there is no alternate power line to supply them when maintenance gets done on a sub or a line. Just part of living in the sticks; so cheer up old lad and think of it as an opportunity to camp out in the garden and enjoy the silence from all those electrically driven sources of noise.
