Liability & responsibility of electrician?

To be more specific: hyphen, hyphen, space, newline.

The point is that a measurement of 245V, in and of itself, is not proof of

3-phase delta service. I measure 243V between the two legs of my residential service, and I'm quite sure that it's only single-phase.

What is the voltage at the old location? If it is 240 then there is no issue with anything the electrician did...

How ever, it is most likely originating from a 3 phase source via a single phase xformer.

What's that got to do with the price of oats in China?

I don't know about oats, but I hear the price of rice is up!

Your name Shoppa or Lammeh? Just wondering, because that is a pretty lame outlook.

I figured that you were talking through your ass again.

I'm concerned that the system engineer (was one) didn't know what they were doing - no internal protection - or was the customer to cheap and didn't buy an option.

I hate that kind of option - to lower the price and risk failures.

Power lines have gone from 200 to 245 in my lifetime and will likely continue to inch up.

Remember 100v and then 107 and 110 and 115 and 120 and 125 and 130...

Pushing more power with the same cables - requires higher voltages.

We have never gone above 120 anywhere in the lower 48 that I remember.

Please refrain from top posting.

I ALWAYS top post. Keeps from having to read the drivel.

But as for line voltage, I monitor my voltage with an accurate digital meter. floats around 123 to 125 except during hot summer afternoons when it sags appreciably.

As for the sag, the guys > >

You are the weakest drivel... goodbye.

That 'accurate' 'cheap chinese' 'meter'?

Sigh! I'm through wasting my time with you. Take it up with someone that gives a damn.

It is always from a three phase source. That's the way it comes from the generators, although only one leg is generally used for distribution.

Where I live, one leg of the three phase ran the power for everyone on the hill. When they needed to increase capacity, I paid for the third leg to be installed while they were upgrading the service with the second leg. That's how I ended up with three phase service in my shop, having had the primary lines extended for over two miles.

Not a lot, but it may have a profound effect on the tariff on peanuts in Brazil.

That's a matter for opinion and apparently, yours don't count!

That is a matter of fact, though you wouldn't know a fact if it bit you where you talk.
