I have no idea, but I found that identical units (often the same units)
worked in some villages, or rather on some supply lines, but not on others.
I never did get to the bottom of it but I can only assume it is the supply
(or something noisy powered from the same substation) as moving the same
powerline units to another village (or in one case the other end of the
same village which was fed from the other direction) and the behaviour
of the units changed totally. The usual symptom was that the units would
work fine for a few seconds, then fail for a few, and repeat for ever.
