I understand now. (EDIT) You may be correct. Provided that you aren't disconnecting your ground rod that grounds your electric service. I would check with a professional first. I realize now that there are many other solid state devices that are not easily unplugged. Ovens, refigerators, heating/cooling systems, smart home systems... ...my wife also tells me that a good way to check if the power came back on is to put my tongue into the toaster as I run my hand under cold water at the sink... I'll have to try it next time. That magazine of hers is filled with all sorts of good tips for husbands. -Sparky
