What is the Voltage in Your System Today?

In my area and living at the end of a dead end street and run. When spot checking, mine regularly measures between 117V to 119.3V

125v

Cheers,

About 1000 if I turn on the 211 amps.

So we have been running at between 242V and 252V for years... (Australian standard voltage is supposed to be 230V +/-10%)

Yesterday we had an all day scheduled maintenance power outage....

After power came back on, the Voltage was down at 236V - lower than I have seen it in 10 years of keeping an eye on it (ever since I got a glorified multi-plug unit combo surge-protector with a readout of the voltage! - Belkin Pure-AV PF60) - today, on a bright sunny day (on the cusp of autumn) - the Voltage is up to 242.5V.... but 2 days ago under similar conditions (peak solar panel output time) - it would have been between 248V and 252V.

Very happy to see the voltage at a more reasonable level - would like it to actually approach the standard of 230V - but I guess that won't happen until/unless I make my home grid independent.

Incredible. Its all out of reasonable limits.
Here with the summer end voltage up to 219/223V this morning.

2PM, clear sky and cool.
119.3V

Quite consistant at 124V.

Mine can range from 119 to 123VAC but typically it's 121. I live in an area surrounded by power generation with a dozen dams within a 200 mile radius and a nuclear power plant just 30 miles from my home. Pretty solid and consistent. Haven't had a power outage in probably 3 or 4 years.

Been monitoring mine (LA, CA) pretty consistently for the last four months out of curiosity. I can say that the range is: 117.8V - 121.2V, this doesn't include quick spikes but more of seen avg.'s. Haven't really had any bad spikes or brown outs either except during a really bad wind & rain storm.

So I guess I say it's all good on the western front.

Mine is spot on......120v.

5 volts DC.

My listening room:

Happy weekend to all!

Yesterday afternoon there were 7 cars and 1 van from the power company on my street, I went talk to the doorkeeper, they know everything that happens, resulted that the new third-party owner of the city electrical concession is changing all analog meters to digital.

This is a lot of money and work, wonder what benefit they will have ?

Just gave it a shot..
4:30 pm
(118.2 volts)
I saw a dip go down to 116.8 and a peak of 119.3..
But stayed around 118 most of the 60 seconds I tested it..

5:09 PM cloudy.
122.1V

Yesterday June 15, was the hottest day in about 2 years. Officially about 95°F, but the neighborhood weather station and my house were over 100°F.
Normally line voltage is about 120V. Mid afternoon yesterday it was down to 113.7V.

Speedskater · « **Reply #36 on:** 17 Jun 2022, 05:56 pm »

So the heat wave has passed (for the moment). The afternoon temperature is 82°F and the line voltage is 122.1V.

Well not only can they do more sophisticated monitoring but now they can charge you more accurately. Almost always to their financial advantage.

How it is?

They can make the meter run faster ?

Speedskater · « **Reply #39 on:** 18 Jun 2022, 01:23 am »

Probably by estimating every other month. They may keep the estimates a little bit low. (It looks better)
