Why is it called 110volt and 220volt? Sheesh...
<< < (4/9) > >>
whammoed:
Don't know if my multimeter was on the blink or what, but it was behaving strangely so I got another.  They are both reading in the range of 240 - 247 throughout the day which seems much more reasonable than 262.  Still need a buck booster though.  :-\

capacity is measured in Farads...

Not a capacitANCE... capacity of the line.  As in what it one would expect to see on it.

BTW, we have pole mounted transformers here.  They are normal.

pole mounted are common here too.

I was wandering around my living room about 3am a few weeks ago when a transformer blew on a pole 100 yards down the street.  The whole street lit up blue for about 15 seconds and then the whole street went completely pitch black without power.  It was cool to see.
