Power company came out and measured 252 volts at the box in the house. They turned the transformer down two notches and lowered the voltage by about 10 volts. Now it measures 238-239 volts in the house. :idea: The chap explained that the rural circuits were built to 240v and they ran them...

All Thanks for everything. It is an overhead supply. I called EON who referred me to the supplier as you've pointed out. I've just called the power distributor Central Networks who is sending out someone today and I'll meet them shortly. Will send update once I know more. Thanks!

The solenoid coil is getting 250V each time I measure it. It heats up and burns out. I don't understand the 'overhead supply.' The wires come up from the ground floor fuse box. The downstairs kitchen voltage averages 253V and fluctuates +/-. I think the current entering the house is...

Thanks for the reply Safespark I've measured it with a digital multimeter numerous times and keep getting 250V at the shower. I suppose the voltage would be the same all over the house as there is no reason for it to be higher on the shower circuit. A digital reader would be accurate enough?

I've got a Triton II powershower that is receiving 250V on the 40 amp circuit. I've replaced several solenoids which have overheaded & failed. The interior of the shower is dry and the solenoids are not / not getting wet and shorting out. The solenoids are rated for 220V-240V and I think...
