I'm an electrician and have had trouble with my kitchen lights randomly flickering for a few years. New dimmer, new bulbs, had the wall open and everything was fine so I just pushed it off as interference with the LED bulbs as it randomly happens with no patten.
Was working in my panel the other day when they started flickering and decided to check voltage which I've done before but could never catch it at the right time. A phase was 117 volts and B was 121 with little load on my side and when I applied a 50 amp load to a phase my voltage dropped to 108. Looking down the street it appears to be a 50 kva transformer feeding a dozen houses.
Is this something worth calling the Poco about?
