My brain passed gas!


We had weird fluctuations whenever a load was put on one side, (120), of
the 240V drops to each building.  The one load side with the coffee pot, OR the side with the refrigerator that we traded for would kick in, that leg would drop to 80 - 90 VAC, while the OTHER leg would go WAY up to 160VAC or more.

That's what I should have finished.  It was all tied up in the lack of GOOD conductivity.  When the tide came up it would get well.  When the tide was out, those were the funny things we would observe with metering we installed at OUR service entrance.  (Scrounged from an old abandoned power plant.)
