[AMPS] voltage drop

My plate voltage drops from 5600 VDC to 4700 under load,(pair 4-1000A's
.7A) My line voltage drops from 240 to 233. My filter cap is a pair of 32uf
oil caps in series. My last amp used 16uf filter cap, but didn't have a
voltmeter.
Should I:
1) Run a 30A 240V line
2) Buy 2 more oil caps
3) Disconnect my volt meter

Thanks for any ideas,
 Dick NY1E
