RE: Power cut problem or more X10 woes?



Funny you should say that, I thought that the mains voltage was now 230V,
after euro harmonisation.
I've been checking the voltage in my office over the last few weeks, due to
UPS related problems,
and it's been around 236V, rising to 241V on occasion.... odd...

Just an idea, but it's summer (alledgedly). Don't the utility companys
alter the power to compensate for the large amounts of aircon units and
the like switching on/off over the summer period? Also, these give out
lots of interference iirc... is it possible that it's just a case of there
being lots of unwanted noise on the powerlines... is there anything
plugged in that hasn't been before?

Just an idea, i'm prolly talking poo, as usual :)
