Done a household kettle switch-on study dduring 1993 in Pretoria, the average surge recordedc was 1kV5

[@ShoutingElectronics]

Hi JCT. Was it not perhaps 1kA5? If so, they must have been really close to the transformer.

Just check isolation on those modules, or at least add a fuse to the mains input side. Don't you love that R28 charge that SAPO gives you per small packet, at least now it is not that old charge where you had to find 5c pieces to pay for it. Must keep a bank bag or three, and put in R28 in 10c and 20c coins, to pay for my next SAPO delivery. Should at least make a big dent in my loose change collection.

[@ShoutingElectronics]

Yep. SAPO is a pain. If they don't loose the parcel, they 'forget' to put a slip in your box to collect. The only reason I got that lot all at once, is because the box from Singapore had tracking, and they reported that 'First Delivery Attempt Failed' Went in to query it, and then asked if they have anything else for me. Which meant a lot of R28's put together.

@@ShoutingElectronics Put your phone number in your flEabay account, which means at least a 50% chance you will get a SMS telling you that your parcel is there, along with the tracking number, and the reminder to bring 28 SA peso's with to pay the vig. Depends on the office though, the post office near us ( now closed ) the postie would simply bring them when he was going past to Durmain, or tell me they were there to collect, long before that slip would ever show up in the box.
