Posted March 21, 20232 yr Hi, wondering what is causing these load fluctuations late evening/early morning (or probably the whole day but clearer to see as closer to base load at those times). Assuming one of the fridges, but is this normal or indicative of a failing motor perhaps? 1 x chest freezer (brand new) 2 x fridge/freezer combos in kitchen (5 years old or newer) 1 x wine fridge (5 years old) 1 x very old bar fridge Thanks!
March 21, 20232 yr That 1st graph shows nicely your base loads, so those spikes are normal and most likely your fridges switching on and off. Looks normal to me. I only run 2 fridge/freezers so my spikes are not as pronounced, but they are still there.
March 21, 20232 yr If you shrunk that vertical axis, it wouldn't look half as scary. The range seemd to be just south of 500w to 150ish. I have 2 combos, deep freeze, security system and external lights running at night, plus all the stuff that's on standby, and I'm in the same ball park. So I don't see too much to worry about here. But you do well to keep an eye on this data. That's how we learn what's going on and figure out how we can optimise usage of the system.
