one thing i have learned for the last 13 years in all that - things happen. thats why we are testing battery capacities all the time, starting and testing diesel electrical generators. and again things can go wrong. most of the time problem with generators are starting batteries - the strength of electrostarters are around 4,5 KW .

here in Serbia problems with electrical company are more often - the grid needs to be replaced on many places, and people are shutting power down for safety while working.

sometimes this comes to my mind - older equipment was less demanding when talking about sensors, old things were somehow rigid compared to new devices.

i am happy that all went well finally in your company. in some other meaning, it is good to make "upper levels" from company people to see that somewhere lower someone is trying to do its best. a bit of shaking can make " company blood" to move faster :-) .
