Voltage report using a Sola Basic autoformer

The only problem with the installation is in your head.

Calculated numbers are one thing. Real life measurements are "just the facts".

The readings are being made with the best devices I can afford, and those devices have been checked for accuracy against the best meters available outside of a research lab.

Voltage drop is a real issue for RV'ers. I've finally found a device that allows me to compensate for that.

I don't mind if you contribute to the thread but I'll ask that you keep on topic and not bring into question wiring that was done a professional and inspected by the power company.

BTW the cord ends are in brand new condition and the outlets that I'll be using have been treated with deoxit.

That's funny, particularly since you obviously have a problem with this "properly installed" 30 amp service and don't even know it. :S

Perhaps the electrician that installed the service and receptacle was a little on the weak side. I would make sure all of the lugs are good and tight.

I am an electrician and a college graduate. I work with a lot of people that don't believe in calculations, but only do things by the seat of their pants. I know what things should be and if they aren't I start looking for reasons why.
