      From: x@y.Invalid              Per mike:       >I have this vision of the stairwell lights going out just as       >you step off the top platform with a heavy box of junk.       >"Honey, I'm microwaving some coffee...want some?"              I had a similar vision of The Better Half chopping celery in the       kitchen and Yours Truly stupidly turning on the bathroom lights       where a heater was plugged in.              I discovered a circuit parm called "Delayable" that *sounds* like       it exempts the circuit from being shed if set to False.              "Delayable Circuits The factory default setting is NO. Setting       a circuit to YES, enables the UTS to run ALM for the individual       circuit selected."              Next time I have the house to myself, I'm going to try some more       stress testing and see what happens when I do various things.              I'm thinking a 1,500 watt electric heater or two will be useful       tools in that regard. Also, I have found that just a toaster       takes almost 1,000 watts.       --       Pete Cresswell              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
