General Engineering Contractor
Help. I am a contractor and have done much complicated wiring but I am stumped. Lights flickered in the house [ 20 years old, no previous issues] for a few days then resolved. Now again power is variable on the 2 hot lines. sometimes 120v and others 105 volts, you can see the lights at a low power indicating low voltage. But it is not consistent, one leg lower than the other higher. Okay, went to the meter, its a "smart" meter and it is blank for the first time ever. Gave it the hammer, no improvement. So here is the bizzare part: 120V to ground both hot legs at the 200 amp main breaker. Then 11 volts between the two hot legs. 3 different test meters, all agree. Transformer? Meter? California mountains, recent massive rain and snow, 5 power outages, surges, lightening storms... ran on a genset for a week. Before I call big brother, could it be on MY side of the meter? Thanks.
