Thanks but I'm starting to suspect that the power company meter was wrong and I'm just not getting any more than 116v (on a good day) to my home.
107 volts is a 10% voltage reduction. A violation. If low voltage is due to the utility, then you have a local distribution problem. Ie a street transformer is undersized. Or a power factor problem. The utility can only lower voltage to about 5%. Then it must disconnect.
A defective grid is politicians telling the technically naive what to think. The grid works just fine as long as management does not screw up. For example, a NE blackout was directly traceable Anthony Alexander and other executives doing cost controls in First Energy Corporation. To gain support from the naive, invented was this inadequate power grid myth. Then management who create local problems need not suffer consequences. There are pockets of insufficient generation (ie western CT). But the grid is adequate.
Where is 107 volts measured? Meaured by the utility electric meter? Or by your meter on a wall receptacle? 107 volts is potentially harmful to your air conditioner, refrigerator, dish washer, and washing machine. Therefore that voltage must not exist. 107 volts is perfectly ideal power to all electronics. Voltage that low from an utility typically means undersized local distribution or your nearby street transformer about to fail.
Does a light bulb dim or brighten when a major appliance power cycles? How does voltage change when major appliances power cycle? Unprovided facts that best define the problem.
