[Amps] HV dropping

[Pete Smith]

You just need to monitor your line voltage.  A few years ago, I 
discovered my 220 dropping below 200 volts every morning about 7 AM.  
since this was winter, and low-band season, this was a little trying.  
So I contacted the power company, and reminded them of the ANSI line 
voltage standard.  Within a week, they had replaced (or re-set) a 
regulator on the branch feeding my area from the local substation - no 
more problem.
