Bloody iron set off the trip, and UPS failed to cope  >:(


Its buggered the backup database, so will have to take it down for an hour tomorrow evening to resync it all. Again.

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"
