FYI Handy devise

As part of the items received from Hughes with the Autoformer there are these plug in voltage guages.
They provide a quick reference to line voltage. It is interesting to note the variations of voltage during the day. Also gives a quick reference to daily voltage patterns.

Joe,
Curious question....
What kind of variance do you see?
If substantial, could that be one of the reasons that a lot of these a/c units, and fridges go bad after only a couple of years of use?

Yes! I'll answer that question in more depth in "brown out,oh my" that I am working on!

Loved that thing. I lost mine.

I was seeing 115-125 at various campgrounds. 118 at home

The variations that I've noticed are between 115 and 123.
If you think about electricity like water in a hose and voltage as water pressure, the more water you demand the lower the pressure. In the morning as all the kitchens and bathroom appliances start being used, the voltage will drift lower.
