[AMPS] Re: 230 /115 volts ????

[k2qmf@juno.com]

Hello all,

I have a question regarding house voltages.
I live in Queens, NY City.  Our 120 Volt service is about 124 Volts
However
when I check across my 240 Volt outlets I measure only about 215 Volts
!!!

Can anyone tell me what's going on??  Should I be calling Con-Ed
Service??

Thanks for any help.   73,  Ted  K2QMF
