Yep.

Forgot that I had to pop a load on it before inverter will see it, so sommer plugged in the fridge as well.
Yeah I found that out with one of the Eccos, when there was no load on the inverter it would run at 180v and jump like crazy.

yep, now with load this thing is more stable than Eskom power parking at 221v

With Eskom it normally fluctuate by 5v all the time.

Seriously? Wow ours is normally around 231, on the big inverter it sits at 229. When on gennie I get 220 to 225.
Strangely enough the Eccos were the most consistent 218 to 220.

Yeah the fault is Eskom thinks 15 and 11 looks the same
Somebody at City Power has a similar literacy problem. Maybe it is the same person.

Did our time today, went off at exactly 16h00 came back 18h01, lovely.......... Went off at 19h05 and came back on exactly an hour later. I could see in the distance and my back neighbour that it wasn't the whole block out. The problem is before my block was moved, we didn't go off at the same time. So I don't know if this was a fault they were working on or we have moved blocks again. According to a recent tweet from City Power they can play musical blocks very easily. Unfortunately they don't bother to inform the public when they do.
