Sorry MeDroogies, I'm afraid Alomex has won this one, at least in my estimation. >>> but there is a problem with that: 25% of the machines stop at the same time. >>They would stop at the same time: Jan 01, 2000 00:01 AM >>That implies these 25% all use very similar technology (not likely), Why would that be necessary? >>that the bug in 25% are all the same (not likely), Again why? >>and that the grid can actually get fried if it happens . <<< Normally, usage falls off gradually, allowing dispatchers to call for generators to shut down. While the generators can flex their output current within ranges, a sudden 25% drop in usage will result in over currents, voltage spikes, and circuit breakers tripping. But I doubt that that will all happen. HerbVic
