DEW attack in Canneto di Caronia?

[l0st]

I read that 124V is considered "acceptable" within the +/- range. The Power Company owns the Transformer as they paid to have the tree removed along with the removal and reinstallation of the Transformer. I will send them an email anyway as the voltage used to be around 121V and has since gone up. 

Older stuff with linear power supplies (quite possibly your stereo amplifiers) and transformers will run hot if the voltage is too high and eventually burn up or have reduced lifespan.

I recall when the owner of Wire Monkey was here he said they install voltage conditioners to stop the above. They even do it on all security cameras as wired on 120V lines. He does installs for retired FEDS including FBI agents.  That's when he mentioned a client who had $20,000 of Stereo equipment fried. So your comment seems to parallel his as he held back in telling me what he really knew was going on. Now its all adding up.

Sounds to me that 1st I need to get a another voltage conditioner for the upstairs 65" flat screen HDTV and other electronic components as I do have a new NILES SI-1230 and several other $$ components all connected. Then email the Power Company as you never know what they already know but aren't saying anything until someone stumbles onto something. That's why they went nuts on the tree when I complained about 100's of millisecond outages per year. One supervisor told me that that the actual transformers circuit breaker within the transformer box tripping! Seems to me the tree was stressing the underground line? Back to voltage I mean how many people here have what I have to do a visual quick look at real time voltage?  Pic attached.

Well, you have decent taste in audio equipment. :)

124V would be acceptable. I wouldn't have them adjust down for that, but if it goes over 127 V (like at night) there is a problem.

Circuit breakers work on amperage draw. If the breaker at the transformer is tripping then that's indicative of a short to ground, and a big one. I could see a tree doing that if it was grown into the transformer box. Maybe the lines are damaged elsewhere as well since they supposedly replaced all of it?

I'm not sure how much the monster power line conditioners are, but a cheap APC SmartUPS (make sure you get one with this feature) will adjust for out of spec voltage swings on its own with the added benefit that if the power goes out, its also a battery backup. Only downside is batteries will need to be changed every 3 years or so or maybe sooner if there are constant outages.

Its possible to put a line conditioner at the demarc (main service) that works for the whole house. Probably megabucks, though. It really shouldn't be necessary, but if you can't get the Power Co to do anything then it may be your only option.

Of course, there could still be alien spaceships docking in the lake :)
