Oh so 128V is pretty usual thing in some area because at least Herman had the comapny turned it down for him. My light bulbs in my house keep blowing and this is getting ridicurous! I spend almost $10.00 on light bulbs every 3-5 months! At least 1 light bulb blows in every 2-4 weeks! I suspect the spike kills them all the time. I will try to contact ConEd to either "show me" that it's is okay or tapped down the trans. like what they did to Hermans' neighborhood.
Help My AC line voltage is 128V
I have recently tested the line voltage reading out from my AC lines. They read 128V ! Knowing that 128V is almost 10% more than the standard 117V and most components inside the equipments have a 5% tolerance only. Would this unusual high voltage damage my equipments? Even though I have all my stuffs hooked onto a delicated line but when my wife uses the washing machine, the power reading jump slight up and down... This is a power spike at a high 128V... Sounds dangerous to me... I now have a habit of unplugging them everytime I finished and I am getting frustrated at this. Will getting a voltage stabilizer help? PS Audio P600 or the Monster Cable stuff?
