Default Re: Electric clocks running slow warning

Hi

Around the time of the fairly recent cold spell (beast from the east Mk1) at the beginning of the month, I noticed some variations in the mains supply as you'd expect when there's a heavy demand. Something I found was strange operation from the microwave oven, it occasionally failed to start and appeared to be very delayed in it's operation. What I was wondering is, are microwave ovens very sensitive to fluctuations in mains supply frequency?

Regards
Symon.
