[BC] hot enough for you ?

[Jim Offerdahl]

Ripple is the same as "off-paek" - when you sign up with a utility to turn
off a high load device during high demand periods, such as when it's 100
degrees out. In our case we are on a plan the let's them "ripple" our entire
facility, studios or transmitter site. When they do our generator starts
automatically and runs til the deamnd peak is over. We are on a "by-through"
plan where we pay a rate smaller than it costs us to run our generator up
until a "major peak". It's during the by-through time we noticed they use
voltage reduction to save on demand. Kind of cheating if you ask me, but
they were good enough to take it off for us.
