[QUOTE="Forgalspop, post: 3666352, member: 46636"] We are on CREC rural electric and I have checked the voltage at our outlets many times when replacing receptacles, etc with a multi-meter and they consistently run 123 volts. CREC recently installed a new net metering meter for our solar system and I have checked the output from the solar system and at night to see what different appliances, etc. are using and the meter reads constantly 246 volts when drawing power exclusively from the grid and 247 volts when being powered by the solar system. The new meter displays voltage and kilowatts being produced, etc. I'm sure there are times it fluctuates when I'm not checking, but over all our power from CREC is consistent. It might not be the same with other electric companies. We have been with CREC for 35 years and they have done a great job in restoring power quickly when there has been outages. I would think that OG&E might have more difficulties in consistent transmission, etc. They service a much large area and many more customers. So I would think that line voltage consistency could be dependent on many factors, such as how large the grid an electric company is servicing and the age of the transmission lines and equipment.
