No, as I don't have the transformer yet. Had several big storms here last 2 days with trees down and minor flooding of roads and not forgetting the dust storm which hit yesterday. Another dust storm coming later today with the strong to gale force winds.

Quote:

Synoptic Situation: 3:00 am EST Wednesday
A strong cold front is currently crossing northeastern NSW, with a low pressure system deepening in the Tasman Sea off the Far South Coast.

Gale force westerly winds will develop this morning with winds averaging over 65 km/h and gusts in excess of 100 km/h. Widespread raised dust is likely across a large part of the state. A gradual easing trend in the wind is expected later this afternoon or evening.

Winds of 90 to 100 km/h were reported at several locations in western NSW last night, including Broken Hill, Tibooburra, Fowlers Gap, White Cliffs with visibility less than 1000 metres in raised dust.

Useful advice - I sent off for a duplicate issue containing the motor, power supply, on-off switch and speed control, as these seem very specific to the model and could be difficult to replace if the existing ones burn out or develop a fault.
