I have a vision of TB in a 'pinny' standing by the ironing board. ;D ;D

Just shows how much electric those Iron's use  :( Better change to the ones you heat up on the coal fire  :(
Good work though for keeping the site up and running  :)

I thought in the Uk you technically have "unlimited" power at your disposal? Presumably this was a spike that upset the UPS.

Here in the third world we contract for maximum use e.g. 5.5KW and your standing charge reflects that and your bill is for used KW. If you exceed your contracted amount a customer resettable unit trips in your consumer unit.

Notwithstanding all that, thanks for keeping the server running. :y

I assumed it was the 30mA RCD (earth leakage trip) :-\

The BP garage would have to buy their own forecourt coating then. ::)

Iron is only rated at 2000W. I think its the mix of electric and water that keeps popping the house's main RCD.

Can't remember who it was, but somebody said by PM they may have some spare APC SmartUPS 1500 batteries.

Can you get back in touch  :-[

That's going to be a weekend job, due to unforeseen "other commitments"

May have been me. Not got any at the moment but there may be a possibility of sorting some out in the next month when I've upgraded a few more sites. Which 1500 model is it? RM2 'Rackmount' with the RBC24 tray or the 'desktop' style?

Its a standalone SmartUPS 1500, which I think is RBC7 battery pack....

Do a PAT test on your 1920's iron, the wiring and insulation 'might' be past their best! :o :o :o

It is much appreciated the time and effort you put in to keep OOF online, while multi-tasking by watching and listening to your favorite Swedish band at the same time! ::) ::) ::)

Christ knows what she does to them, but none of her irons last the warranty, and all seem to go the same way (causing trips to go, or won't heat up). No matter what brand. I think this one is Bosch.

I had my last Bosch for eight years before it refused to get up to operating temperature. Got another Bosch to replace it. It refuses to stick to anything.....which is just as well.  ;D

She probably thinks likewise about your Tyres and Brake Pads.

SHE was the one with 4 utterly wrecked tyres on her car.  Mine were all legal.

She is simply a vandal ;D
