[time-nuts] Line Frequeny Stablity

2017-04-05 Thread Thomas D. Erb
I actually have a 1930's unit in my clock collection - and in the 1980's we used to make an AC power clock in a panel next to a quartz clock for small island frequency control. This is a link to my master clock http://electricclock.omeka.net/items/show/6 I'm just wondering how is it set now ?

Thanks for the info. So that tells me how data is recorded - but not how the frequency is kept stable ? Is the line frequency now directly tied to GPS clock - with no drift ? Thomas D. Erb t...@electrictime.com<mailto:t...@electrictime.com> / Electric Time Company, Inc. Office: 508-359-

I was wondering if anyone knew how the US power grids control their line frequency with respect to time ? There seems to be four separate grids - Eastern, Texas, Western and Quebec - but I have no idea how they get their time. Thomas D. Erb t...@electrictime.com<mailt

Maybe a capacitive load in your facility ? Whenever I've looked at it - it's always been pretty clean. For years we used the AC mains for time keeping - but have found in some locations - especially ones with lots of dimmers - zero crossing counting was ineffective. My feeling was that dimmers
