Hi Steffen,
It is a terrible acronym.
I remember in the mid-80's spending a summer with the engineers at
what was then Sydney County Council - now Energy Australia.
There was a hi-fi buff here on the north shore who had put in a complaint
regarding the noise being induced into his speakers whenever the tones
would come on to switch on the Zellweger off-peak meters.
I was surprised by how much trouble the SCC engineers went to at the
time investigating the problem and trying to resolve it.
They put monitors on power poles and what-not.
We've all heard them. I even have a table lamp that when switched
on will resonate at night with the harmonics when the tone bursts come
through.
Interesting about it playing havoc with the LED dimmers.
I wonder though how much they themselves might be injecting back into
the network? Perhaps every time you dim the lights, you have some
neighbour get upset that his Herbert von Karajan conducted 9th
Symphony gets spoilt by noise right in the middle of his favourite
choral piece.
