We don't get power cuts like a lot of places do - the supply is very stable and even in storms we never get an outage.
Now to the oddity..
I bought a larger TV recently and for a week everything has been fine powerwise in the house, just as it always has been.
Then once on Friday night, and then twice on Saturday, the circuit breakers went and all our power went off of course.
I find it hard to believe that the new larger TV could be a cause - even big sets are low on power usage.
So having a look, I decided I may be over loading the double socket in the corner and have now stripped all that down so that the double socket has just 4 items (Pano TV, Virgin Tivo, BR Player, and Sony Surround system).
What I also had was my computer and peripherals coming from there too, so they were removed and now feed from a twin socket elsewhere.
So could it be feasible that the large TV may have been the cause with all that lot above going from the one twin socket, or could it be that I'm just getting a series of transient power problems that I am told can occur almost anywhere in the electricity network area, which go just as suddenly as they arrived, never to happen again?
Additionally, would it be a good idea to take the 3 television accessories into a 3-way adaptor in one side of the twin socket and run the TV independently in the other twin socket - or even plug the TV into a short extension that has a surge protector built into it so as to give isolation to the television?
