[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 841359, member: 199791"] What a load of Jackson Pollocks, they really do love to over-hype such things, I'm surprised they didn't say that the chips will emit high energy x-rays that give you cancer, cos everything gives you cancer according to the daily fail... :-rofl2 Not to mention, they'd have to fit them with voltmeters and ammeters to read those states too, as the frequency is only relative to how fast or slow the grid's turbines are spinning (and is there to keep everything in-sync, one generator out of phase and boom goes the dynamite at that plant!!), and for an appliance to read such conditions to check whether the grid is about to collapse or not is just a complete farce... :rolleyes: Back on the subject though, UPS units are really handy in places where the power is dodgy, they don't have to be big things, just small enough to keep things alive (like modems for example) so they don't lose settings... :) Just don't buy ones with holes in the side and try to repair them like I did, cos they just tend to go bang.... :lol: [/QUOTE]
