Guys ...get this
Western Power deny there is anything wrong with a manky old transformer feeding 2 houses. This Transformer has been zapped by lightning god knows how many times.
Actually to be fair to western power it is down for renewal
Anyways voltage readings at the consumer is 235 ish.When kettle is plugged in it drops 5 volts...and another 5 volts when immersion heater is switched on.another 5 when electric oven is on and so on
with 4 high wattage appliances working I got the voltage down to 216 volts
Not good huh?..fast approaching dangerousely low value
Obviousely a problem with the supply characteristics...I am just wondering why this happens and hope the board's boffins can enlighten me as a point of interest
Cheers
