Had cause to speak with UK Power Networks today on a client job, so got them to email me this years fault log for the village. An auto closer is a circuit breaker designed to protect the network at short periods of stress, so something was going on in August. Lets hope that they have it fixed.

We had a small storm here last night and yet again the electrics went off affecting the alarm clock and other electrical appliances. The utility provisions for this village are just not good enough, they are getting worse.
