There is a very specific procedure for measuring this and it averages over some number of seconds which I have forgotten. Peaks happen all the time when stuff turns on and off. >I spoke to a friend of mine who worked at the CEGB.

All transformers have "Winding-couplers", basically switches that pick how many windings to use for the exact same reason. After they buried the distribution here, the voltage rose. I called them and explained it was above limits for many minutes at a time (causing my solar inverter to stop). A truck popped around, cut power to the local area, and dropped a couple of volts on the transformer, turned power on again and the problem was fixed. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
