I live in az and saw the thread about reducing power. What is dirty power and what are the effects? Also FWIW, people around here are buying guns like crazy. I was in walmart today and had a big line. Lady at the desk said it would take about an hour to approve purchase because ATF was very busy.I also noticed lines at several gas stations of people getting their propane tanks filled.

Click on the "Utilities" heading of older threads, and search for "dirty", which is in the name of several threads on this subject.

Oops, I should have said to search the Utilities threads on the main TB2000 forum. Diane Squire has posted on how to get there.

"Dirty" power means that the voltage or frequency of the power is out of spec. (possible brownouts), can have surges or sags or may be interrupted.

B Clark,

Buy extra fuses if your home uses them. Dirty power blows my fuses, this old house doesn't have breakers.
