I'm on the verge of buying a 2.8KVa or 3.0KVa Petrol Generator and was
wondering whether anyone had any experience with using these as a backup
in case the domestic supply fails? Forinstance, although I have the
computer plugged into a surge protection socket, are generators more prone
to spikes and the like?

I beleive that you can plug these directly into your ring main (switch off
the main incomer) and will effectively power up ALL the house circuits.
(Obviously if you turn on the water heater, cooker and electric fire
you're pushing your luck).

Any thoughts would be welcome

Many thanks

Blimey not you as well Keith. Are'nt you taking the ukmo 'Shot in the Dark'
forecast too seriously?

Anyone out there prepared to barter some Squirrel skins fork candles?
