14 August - No contact breakers
UK Power Networks circulated text messages this morning to consumers affected
by the power disruption. New components were to be installed at the
sub-station and in an underground chamber aimed at restoring a stable power supply. Depending
on which phase of the supply houses were on, power would go off again.
UKPN’s response to the emergency seemed to be pretty good to me.
In addition to several text messages and an automated spoken alarm, I received a
telephone call from their headquarters to explain the situation and was given
the name and mobile number of the engineer in charge for use should problems continue.
