  1. A #burglar has been sentenced to #prison for impersonating #UKPowerNetworks staff in #Kent SE #England and stealing #copper #cable and other #metal - putting many places off supply and causing extremely dangerous and unpleasant situations (removing protective earth cable can cause a rising neutral and phase imbalance, which results in almost 400V appearing in places where only 230V is expected)

  6. All #trafficLights in #Ipswich town centre failed today for a large part of the day.

    There has been no statement to the media from #Suffolk County #Council or even the #Police !

    It would be extremely unlikely that all the supplies from #UKPowerNetworks failed at the same time as they are from many different feeder pillars and substations - something bad must have happened to the controllers.

    Although some #drivers claimed "traffic was flowing better", this will only be the case for dominant traffic flows, and #pedestrians would have struggled to find opportunities to cross the roads safely

  11. I hope the investigation into this "make pumps 5" #fire in #Suffolk involving an #EV is published (and the make and model of vehicle and charger publicised) - it seems to also include the #charger as #UKPowerNetworks had to put 73 buildings off supply to make the scene safe..
