    I had a friend back in Oz who repaired Washing Machines and Refrigerators as a part of his Business and he told me to always switch off appliances during Blackouts to avoid the surge when the power came back on. BUT IF it was a Brownout UNPLUG STRAIGHT AWAY!! As it is the Brownouts that destroy any appliances that have an electric motor inside of them ESPECIALLY IF they are running at the time of the Brownout. I still follow that advice here as best I am able to as I believe it was very good advice...

    It all starts on tue lunchtime when the main internet cable on the bacong-valencia road gets ripped down by a truck so no one has internet or phone for 24 hrs!
    Then to top it off as we were eating we were graced with a brownout,came back on an hr or so later so all well. Then at 1.30am wed off it goes again for 9 hrs this time so txt the pulangtubig maintenance office and as per usual no response!
    So after coming back on at 10am wed, its off again at 1pm until 3pm and back off at 3.30pm until 5.30 pm.
    Luckily enough the phone was back up so phoned the office for an explanation but as usual again none was forth coming from them!
    Grear service from our reliable elec co again not!

    No explanation or sorry sir for the inconvienience!

    I bought my APC UPS from Octagon in the mall. Several stores in the area carry them including Lazada
