Power Out
Added 2022-09-29 13:48:53 +0000 UTCHello, supporters. Yesterday, I lost power due to Ian deciding to make a stop by Jay's house. I guess he's a fan. Then, in the middle of the night, my new generator stopped working and kicked out an error code that'll require warranty service.
I'm without power, though I still have the internet through my modem/router running off one of my large camping batteries.
I can stay connected a bit, but I can't get work done. This means the update on the 5th might not have the quantity of finished pages I'd intended.
Everything else is fine and there's no damage. I'll let you know when things get back to normal.

Yeah.

2022-09-30 19:05:14 +0000 UTCDa-yum about the generator. A hurricane is definitely not the time you want to find out about one having problems.

2022-09-29 20:38:23 +0000 UTCThe other issue is not the generator shutting itself off while it has a real problem that is going to break the device. The other thing that happens is their is a perceived problem that is either minor or non existent and is a sensor issue. Then you have a perfectly fine generator that doesn't work.

2022-09-29 20:26:36 +0000 UTCIan was very inconsiderate and damn, nothing like a backup generator failing on you when you need it...

2022-09-29 16:51:46 +0000 UTCGood to hear that you are Okay. Now for the bigger problem: Deciding which piece of meat in the freezer to BBQ first. Thankfully due to your “Old School” drawing skills you can remain productive and work on story lines etc. Take care.

2022-09-29 15:58:20 +0000 UTCIt self tests every week. It was fine for a few hours and decided not to be when I was asleep.
Jay Naylor
2022-09-29 15:26:00 +0000 UTCWe make a point to run our generator for a couple hours every quarter and make sure it's serviced regulalry even though it may not be in use. Better to find the problems when it's not needed than the other way around.
KungFooTek
2022-09-29 15:22:43 +0000 UTCIt's okay Jay. We totally understand. Take your time you need.

2022-09-29 15:03:53 +0000 UTCEgor - so here's the problem. In situations where an emergency happens and you desperately need power for example here in Northern Canada if winter happens and there is a power outage and you are relying on a generator and it doesn't work then you have the very real chance of freezing to death. I would rather take the chance of it running and possibly self-destructing then it's not running and me unable to get a part and being found slump frozen over my generator. The problem is the parts are not handy. Now if any technologically supply generator came with an entire bag of spare parts for parts that are common failures that would be a different matter but of course they don't.

2022-09-29 15:02:04 +0000 UTCStay safe and warm Jay! Oh wait sorry I'm in Canada. I guess warm isn't too much of a concern. No need to apologize nature happens. Please take care of yourself and we don't mind if there is a delay if you want to finish more pages and put it out later when you can.

2022-09-29 14:56:16 +0000 UTCThis is a very common sentiment....and one I've never understood. Why is continuing to work until the product destroys itself or damages the property surrounding it preferable to it locking down when there's an issue? Like, I know it's annoying for things to stop working when they look fine. But you know what else is annoying? Buying a new one when you could replace a 5 USD component...or your residence catching on fire.

2022-09-29 14:55:10 +0000 UTCIt's literally a cat4 hurricane. Take a minute. Be safe. Be well.

2022-09-29 14:16:32 +0000 UTCThe problem with more self monitoring technology is that sometimes it will make things stop working when there is no real issue. The old generators would work to the point of self destruction if whoever running it failed to notice an issue, but would not stop working due to a stupid code. The new electronic monitoring does increase efficiency though. Also, maybe the shut off was warranted due to an actual issue, but that is its own problem. Does seem like a new generator should not fail so quickly either by false error or real issue.
Steve
2022-09-29 14:05:51 +0000 UTCIt was a Generac. Kicking back a 1902 undervoltage error after working fine for some hours.

2022-09-29 13:58:59 +0000 UTCCan Iask what the generator was, curious to see which one died so early.

2022-09-29 13:52:54 +0000 UTCSucks you _stayed_ down, but at least you get to figure out your generator now instead of when an actually hurricane hits your side of the state. I'm still up; dodged a bullet honestly, hit south of us.
