BC Hydro power switch speeds up electric clocks
Electric clocks are running faster from the Burns Lake area west to the coast thanks to a BC Hydro construction project that will eventually increase the amount of power it can provide to the region.
“Clocks will run slightly faster than normal, accumulating on average 12 seconds per hour of what is referred to as ‘time error.’ In other words if the system is running “fast” for 10 hours, clock time will be 120 seconds faster than real time,” he said.Clock applications in computers, smartphones or other devices tied into the internet are not affected as they take their times from the internet through satellite-based calculations.
Electric clocks will run faster from Burns Lake west to the cost until June 19 when BC Hydro will then shrink the affected area to Houston to the coast. That’s expected to last until June 29 when the entire region will return to BC Hydro power.
