Re: Hilux Relay- Indicators
Correction, that was tested in Jan 2016, but I tried it again and ..... the hazards are working again. The clue was that the hazard unit was working because the indicators were never faulty. The switch gave power to the hazard unit as it clicked once before stopping. So glad it's not a short or faul...

An Engel 40L draws 2.8 Amps when it is running and set at 1°C. Lets say it is in about 35°C ambient temp and it runs for 30mins in each hour. So you will need 2.8 x 12 = 33.6 Amps in each 24 hours.

Chris, that question is never asked. Running and maintenance cost of a mid-sized gennie? Also probably the least 'green' solution. Lets say R100 fuel for each 4 hour loadshed it could come to say R1000 per month for 10 loadsheds and R12000 per year! can buy a lot of panels for that price.
