Good day to everyone reading!
I assume there are some electrically knowledgeable people following this, so here is my question: What can be done if ripple control signals cause severe interference with a house’s lighting and audio equipment? I get the impression that grid operators and energy providers completely avoid this issue, as they do not respond to any emails on the subject.
Is this a common problem in general or a local issue specific to Berlin? For me, it’s increasingly frustrating that at the times when these signals are sent, my dimmers start to “pump” heavily—and these are expensive, high-quality dimmers. Modern LED lights also react very strongly. In the kitchen, you can even hear buzzing from the halogen lights above the workspace, as if the metal housings are vibrating. What I find most annoying is that the signals are particularly noticeable in my high-end active speakers, which are used throughout the house. These are professional studio monitors, each costing several thousand euros.
I wonder: Shouldn’t the grid operator or power supplier, as the source of this “pollution” of the electrical supply, be responsible for fixing this?
Thank you very much for any helpful answers!
