Post your wall voltage If you are so inclined....

Mine's 117 right now. To be honest, it usually sits right at 117 or 118VAC, going as high as 122 in the middle of the night. Is the Powervar an AC regenerator? AFAIK, it would have to be, if it is capable of outputting more voltage than is available from the wall outlet. Sometime in the future I'm going to definitely look into getting a better line conditioner.
 
Right now its at 115 VAC which is a little low, its usually around 117-119.

Last summer I was living in a circa 1890 house in an old part of town. I measured 105 VAC one night! This was after realizing the fluorescent light in the kitchen was having a hard time starting and thinking that the box fan in the window was on low instead of medium. Im kinda surprised the compressor kicked in on the window AC unit in the bedroom at that low of voltage.
 
I have good AC 117v to 119v. I ran 3 20amp lines just for the system.

Hah ! beat the lot of you :D 245.2V !!! - that is a little high :yikes: :scratch2: I am surprised at this as it is usually around 240V and never usually varies by more than +/- 2v.

Good point, premiumplus. When the sump-pump for the basement bathroom kicks on, the voltage goes down a volt or two momentarily.

After power bill has been paid.:D
 
Here it is 120.3 VAC on my Fluke 23III, This is what it usually is most of the time. Our power is coal fired about fifteen miles away but we are snagged to WE (Wisconsin Electric) could very well be nuke power.... :scratch2:

Rod KB8DNS (As a HAM radio op I usually check it often as I keep tabs on my radios, varying voltage = modulated signals) A no no... :nono:
 
Interesting thread as I just replaced all the outlets in my apartment because the voltage was dropping 5-6 volts when the fridge or window AC kicked in on the kitchen and bedroom outlets respectively. Lots of corrosion and a few loose stab in connections were the problem along with one outright burned up outlet. Now it only drops 1-2 volts on only those two lines. Usually I am around 123. Just a minute ago when I checked it was at 123.8.
