(OT) Generators & Computers?
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 -- Keith (Southend) http://www.southendweather.net |
