Power cuts

The electric power around here isn't all that reliable, with occasional outages, and many short drop-outs that are enough to get the UPSes to kick in and then shut off a few seconds later.  All of our most fragile electronic kit is protected with a UPS; we have three and they're not cheap.  So news of an improvement to the quality of our leccy supply is welcome.

We are warned of a scheduled power cut tomorrow, from 8h45 to 14h15, that they tell us is to improve the delivery of electricity.  Well, let's hope so.   This little lash-up is to keep the fridge-freezer running.  I have no idea how much power the fridge takes, but I will find out tomorrow if 1.4kWh is enough to keep it going for five and a half hours.
