I didn't say it was not true, I only said it didn't follow from your argument about the power-meter :-) The specs for the Nordpool area sets some specific frequency bands, voltage bands and time constants for which regulation regime applies. The result is that the frequency is generally a tad on the low side, but well inside the tolerance, because nobody sees it as their job (and expense) to keep the average at 50Hz. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
