Try to answer a few questions.
Tom & Bjarney- Went back and reviewed old roll charts from recorder. The 127.1 was only a spike in March 2002. The average A to N=124.8, avg B to N=124.6, avg A to B=249.3. This is data from June 2001 til June 2002. I was able to get the POCO to set xfmr tap to provide these voltages as I have the dedicated pad mount. The lowest voltages appear at around 5:00 to 6:00 P.M. and the highest at about 3:00 to 4:00 A.M. although the averages for July and August are lower than February and March in both time frames.
Scjohn- I have RX, IMC, EMT, PVC 40. A minor amount of Greenfield for connections. All wire Cu, THHN or XHHW insulation. UG PVC have all GRS 90’s with tape-wrap.
Tom- I once used the term “split” in lieu of “bifurcated” in a paper at the University of Wisconsin. My prof nailed me for “inappropriate terminology”. Although this occurred about 50 years ago, I haven’t forgotten.
I have two meters as I work with trial systems with the POCO. Two each 52 gallon and one 40 gallon H2O’s furnished by POCO at $1.00 each. Rebates from POCO for installation of geothermal units (Wouldn’t have any other system after experiencing it). A by-product of the geothermal units is hot water. They are connected to the H2O’s and only one of the 52 gal units is electrically energized. My H2O’s and geothermal units may be shut down by radio signal from the Co-Op. I am able to by-pass the shut downs but at a much higher rate. My bill to cool the 4,000 sq. ft. has averaged approximately $26.00 per month for the past 9 summers. Geo is not as efficient for heating. Winter monthly has been as high as $121.00 (Outdoor temp -16 degrees F). Average is about $65-$70. Total monthly averages in the $250.00-$325.00 range based upon wholesale power adjustments.
Hang-ups: Hate trac lighting, AL conductors, ill conceived code paragraphs, cheap devices and fixtures, poor workmanship. That’s for starters.
