I would say that is low and would call it in. Could be something like a bad regulator on the line.I have a residence that is being supplied with —233V at the meter. Certain loading can take this as low as 228V.
Would it be unreasonable to request a higher voltage at the meter?
I’m unable to contact anyone in Engineering at the Utility.I would say that is low and would call it in. Could be something like a bad regulator on the line.
EVSEAssuming 240v nominal, +-5% is 228-252 volts so those are within "spec"; I might be concerned with the additional 5v drop under load, but what's the load doing that?
Thank you.That will be covered by your state utility commission rules...as long as what the utility is supplying is with in those specs they are fine.
In Illinois, those voltages would be within the range specified by the Illinois Commerce Commission.
The rules specify a standard service voltage of 120 volts, but also specify that the voltage shall not drop below 113 or rise above 127. That result in a permissible line to line voltage range of 226 to 254. Any complaints to the utility for voltages within those ranges will be ignored.
Not necessarily. Some utilities have their own voltage specs which are tighter, one here does.. Any complaints to the utility for voltages within those ranges will be ignored.
not the way it works in IllinoisNot necessarily. Some utilities have their own voltage specs which are tighter, one here does.
