Well,
It's happened again, it looks like New Zealand will be facing another power crisis, if it doesn't rain soon.
Some people are even getting in quick to buy generators to use.
This is where the link with reality,STOPS!.
Some people are buying these 3,4 or 5kVa generators and are then calling up an Electrician, to have them wired into their Main Switchboards, most of them don't like being told(forcefully,sometimes)that it can't be done.
One guy even thought you just plugged the thing into the nearest socket-outlet! [Linked Image]
But the over-riding factor, in all of this, is the fact that, most of the people that I have spoken to, actually believe, that you can comfortably run a whole Residential Installation (63A max), on a 3-5kVa Generator! [Linked Image].
What do you guys,think of all this?.
