What time of day? What season? I typically see something between 119 and 124 depending on the power demand in my neck of the grid.

[Randy Magee]

Usually 117V, but not always... I have measured 120V before...

Same as Martin here. It spikes over 125 though from what the conditioner tells me.

Hey does your power conditioner give you a peak since reset, over some recent time interval, or some more detailed record vs. time?

Sorry, I can't participate in the survey ...

The plug-in readout generally agrees with the Fluke 87, where the Fluke may wobble between 128-129 the cheapo holds at 129.
It's like that here ALL THE TIME, I've never seen it below 126 in recent years.
I've checked other locations around town with similar results.

I miss the old days when everything was 117.

Wow, 129v?

What is the current source in Tennessee?

Nuclear?

In the Northwest we mainly depend on hydro power.

Although they don't consider it a renewable power source because they will never build another dam here!

The tree huggers have all but destroyed the hydro power resource here to the extent of demolishing some dams already, to allow some fish to swim upstream.

Funny, I thought that was what fish ladders were for.....

Des Moines Iowa 124-126v, cycles every thirty seconds or so a/k/a small rolling brownouts.

Oddly enough, yesterday, I was seeing 113V. All previous measurements have been over 122V. And there was no brownout warning or anything yesterday. Makes it hard to bias your amps.

Minnesota 119 volts.

[CHIP]

Right now it's 123 VAC, but the temp outside is @ 60 deg. When it's hot and demand is high it's about 117 VAC.

[dano-rator]

125 VAC right now in southern New Jersey on my Numark power conditioner. I have seen 128, but it doesl drop a little if the weather is hot and the air conditioners are hummin.

[brewdude]

I usually see 121 or 122, but it will dip every time my well pump kicks on.
