[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 3751508, member: 27991"] Son called me a while back, said my circular had burnt up. He was a building a deck. He got his jig saw to finish the part he was at. It burnt up, too. Told him to unplug EVERYTHING. He turned in a light and bulb flashed. I get there and he had 160v at the breakers. Called power co, told them they had a problem. Idiot cops an attitude, not calling out service on weekend. I tell him who I work for (doing repair and calibration, for THEM) and I had my voltage recorder tracking the voltage fluctuations and they would receive a bill for appliances and tools. Service truck arrived 20 minutes later and replaced the transformer. Voltage was at 180v, when they arrived. Service guys verified voltage and wrote me a service statement. They bought 2 new saws, a drill and a refrigerator. [/QUOTE]
