Actual voltage in a campground October 08, 2011, 04:36:17 pm Yahoo Message Number: 125835Eric said: The value of 120 VAC is just an average, used to represent a value that could be much higher or lower, and still be considered within range. I've seen equipment tags labeled for 115 VAC, and I've seen 125 VAC used also. You can be sure that your campground voltage, with more RV's in hot weather, with their air conditioners running, would be much lower. 129 VAC is entirely normal, especially under low usage conditions. The utility company would consider this to be a good voltage. RonB and 'Bluebelle' a '99TKB (For Larry, this name, like all names, is a convenient word to use to denote my Lazy Daze motorhome)
Re: Actual voltage in a campground Reply #1 – October 08, 2011, 07:49:52 pm Yahoo Message Number: 125840In my experience as an electrical engineer (but not a utility engineer), 129 volts was outside the high end of a normal utility system; even 125 VAC was unusual. I still suggest calling the utility company about the voltage at the campsite. The call is cheap, and if they change it, the surge protector can be turned back, and the meter reading dealt with later.Eric Greenwell
