We had a warm summer night around September 10th IIRC. It had been a crazy wet, humid summer overall. The windows were open above our bed. The next thing I new, it sounded like a cannon discharged (twice actually) in the garden and lightning shook everything on this bit of ledge; our home.
Over the next few days, I found it to be 'the gift that kept giving....' nothing major, but lot's of little things no longer worked, including:
Internet - it took out our wireless antenna and injector (I think it's called)
Aux 1 & Aux 2 relays in one of the Classic charge controllers - the relays control the furling actuator and load diversion
the RPM board for the turbine
the "PA-39" control for the tail furling actuator
a RAB motion sensor, and associated exterior light relay
a small battery trickle charger
Btw, none of this is too serious. Annoying yes, but in context of other life-affecting, and world events; pretty minor, I know.
The Classic had to be sent to Washington state, on the other side of the country from us. MN Solar turned it around pretty quick, but quite a lot of work to dismantle and remove.
RPM gauge - fortunately I had spares:
Classic CC
PA-39 Actuator control (I had a spare)
I've got everything back together now. The new MNGS (display) has no backlight adjustment, so I'm waiting for a replacement, but otherwise good.
More to follow...
