KillaWhat, other than the Leaf, can you share what did or did not survive? You mentioned losing a bunch of surge protectors notably the whole-house variety. Did the equipment on the other end survive or not? Computers? Stereos? etc.
5PM EST Wednesday 9/12
No word from ANYBODY today. Too Busy to look into it.
Good information about the Fuse and MOV in the charger.
If the thing were out of Warranty we'd be a' crackin that thing open today.
What DID we lose.
Well, we discover something new most every day.
I'm pretty good about grounding and surge supression, so.....
Panasonic Phone system, unit and all lines protected; no problems.
Security system, unit power isolated and all circuits protected; no problems.
All the computer equipment and Routers / Switches are protected by APC Commercial UPS units, and they are fine.
We lost the whole house protection, 7 out of 8, they were EATON units, and about 15 years old.
We lost most of our modern GFCI outlets for some reason. I used dead front units in every bathroom I remodeled, 1 for lighting, and one for outlets. Leviton
We lost a GFCI Active protection outlet, which in turn protects the lighting and other outlets in a newly remodeled powder room. Leviton also.
We lost an LED pole light (fried the LED Driver), and the Master Photo controller that tells the whole system it's light or dark.
Two power supplies for a pair of SONY HAD Low Light outdoor Cameras. Cameras seem OK, Power supply boards are black.
We discovered this morning that our Kitchenaid blender is toasted (i.e. The blue Smoke has been released).
It's a "New Fangled" deal, where the power is controlled by soft switches, rather than a nice bulletproof mechanical switch, so the power feeds electrical components directly from the wall, which in turn controls a small relay.
Opened it up, and the circuit board is black, capacitors are split open, etc.
Was plugged into a cheap surge strip, next to the toaster and can opener, both simple manual units, and both seem OK.
Ordered a new one.
My Comcast box is "Acting up". Goes off, puts an opaque box up that covers the screen, can't access some recordings, stuff like that.
It will have to go back, but I'm trying to watch all I recorded first.
That's it so far. But we keep finding new stuff every day.
Am planning a 14 panel PV system with Enphase inverters, on an outbuilding where the AV EVSE unit is located.
Would have it up by now, except Pennsylvania cant seem to "find" it's funding, and there is a waiting list that nobody expects to be of any value.
Glad It didn't have it go through this :roll:
I'll update when I have any new info.
