----------
- Accuweather FORECAST inaccurate
- Webcam 2 continues to hang in random intervals
- both functions deactivated until further investigation

----------
Energy provider`s personnel discovered that when connecting a second AC phase conductor to
the neutral conductor, one obtains 400V instead of 230V, and electronics DO NOT like that.

Station offline, surge protection device destroyed, further damage still to examine.
