Mine was 246-247 VAC for several years. Just recently and with the advent
of new homes on this very rural street I noticed it was down to 234V.
Havent noticed any longer household bulb life yet but I sure notice the
drop in RF when testing amps.
Guess some Power Co Engineer changed taps...darn it !
