Board says buy batteries
Buying mains electrical appliances with battery back-ups will overcome the need to reset them whenever the power jjoes off for a short time, according to King Country Electric Power Board general manager Peter Till. Commenting on mini power cuts that occur in his board's area, Mr Till said these are caused by such things as wind, opossums, trees and birds. "What normally hap-
pens with these transient outages is that the power will switch off for 20 seconds, the ob-
ject causing the cut will drop clear and the supply then returns to normal."
