59.2Hz. Power factor?

I don't have a frequency meter or I would put one on a data logger.

Can a FUBAR propagate faster than they can react? Where would you draw the line?

No, frequency. Picture those big rotating generators straining like mules to pull all those electrons out to your house. They normally do it 60 times per second, but when they get bogged down to 59.2, they will have to be shot.

Keep in mind that the entire grid is rotating in synch.

Say, I just e-mailed the Cal-ISO and asked them why no stage III or II. Why doesn't someone contact one of these jokers or jokerettes?
