127-128 is typical here just east of Beloit too.
Funny story--a neurotic ex-YL [as opposed to XYL] bought new ceiling
fans...and she *had* to have the kind with remote controls [!]...and
switching power supplies...so every time the People's Democratic Electric
Collective [aka Commonwealth Edison] put the line voltage above 124 [like
during peak load A/C times HI HI]...the fans would self-protect...and simply
refuse to work til the line voltage went back down...kind of defeated the
entire purpose...
I have a variac dedicated to my boatanchors, end of problem...
