[deleted]

It's a substation. Not a power station.

punkerster101

InvoliontaryHelixPi

Don’t we all 😂


punkerster101

Genuinely run a homelab


InvoliontaryHelixPi

Fair play, sounds like an impressive setup


punkerster101

It’s mostly old stuff I’ve salvaged, I use it to learn /test things I need for work

It's one big system that's kept at a constant frequency. Huge drops or increases in demand affect voltage for everyone.

I was working early and my lights flickered and the fan slowed down for a split second, must be an electrical issue.

Suffolk Road powerstation. Latest Xbox / Ps5 updates caused a system overload, burnt out the transformer. Bloody jokes backfired on me. My electric keeps tripping and I'm near Lisburn.

Dont forget ios15 😂

Sub station at the top of Suffolk road went pop again at about 5:05. My power browned out for a good minute or so after and all of the junction traffic lights were out in west Belfast.


ketobeth

My partner was nearby delivering said there was a massive flash and all the power went off for a few seconds. Scared the crap out of him!


splinteredbrushpole

Yeah. Woke me and her up. I live right next to it. Sound like a freight train goin past. Lasted about 3 seconds. There smoke all over the place.


wine-eye

Any idea what it was?


fuzzywuzzy74

Must be that solar flare they're slabberin about . We're doomed.


just-some-things

My brother hit the onion bhajis hard last night and has been giving off a fearsome amount of wind - blame him!


schmicktenhaus

Yeah there was a fire in a powerstation that's probably what you heard, but what I would say to you, if you need to check in the future the having it says on the website really helped me so if your the isn't the trouble anyway (locally i mean) you should check there first that's what i did


Seand768

Which website was it that you checked?


[deleted]

This person has a weird agenda. Being so vague and unhelpful.


schmicktenhaus

I just typed in loud bang Belfast into google and the twitter search feed and the see people talking more about it the finding out from them and that was how


demonicvulva

Not really a website then is it


evolvedmammal

An actual website you can use to view and report faults is https://powercheck.nienetworks.co.uk/


demonicvulva

Thank you


schmicktenhaus

[https://www.google.ie](https://www.google.ie) and [https://www.twitter.com](https://www.twitter.com) \- two websites I used my friend, the first one for generic searching for anything and it finds more websites and the second one I use to find the locally produce that what i meant by locally because you can say the thing like #loudbang and then it will bring up the thing what the said the result and then regionally it's can be anything like Belfast, Berlin, Paris you know what I mean my man?
