Totally agree. Will address all of this, this fall. In the new existing configuration, all the first panel is doing is a disconnect, all loads have been removed.

Wife reported back power company repaired neutral "on the pole". They also ended up looking at neighbors house. Last night the "balanced" voltage was 122VAC and 123VAC phase to N. I'll check it again tonight and report back the voltage, with a functional neutral. Thanks again for all...

I intend to, I have spent even less time in that structure than I have the main house. Maybe this weekend , hopefully this is resolved well before then.

Two meters, two structures. Second meter is not involved.

Had an inspection, I noticed the extension cord before even made an offer on the house. I potentially will have a propane story after tomorrow's propane service change over, I havn't had time to investigate but all the appliances have GIANT flames out of their burners. My goal with this...

Just got off phone with the power company rep, have a work order in for the issue. To all the recommendations above of "just call the power company", I understand your point. Remember, I just acquired ownership of the property, I wanted to confirm the problem wasn't on my end so I didn't...

Turned off most loads in the house voltage was balanced h to n to h. Turn on hair dryer. One phase to N drops to 117vac. Other phase went up to 131vac hot to n. Measured at main breaker and sub panel had same voltages. Will contact power company tomorrow morning. Left the hair...

I corrected my post, it has 4 wires.

Down here the main panel breaker serves as the emergency disconnect.

Thanks everyone for the replies. As said in first post, just moved don't know where any of my possessions are, including phone chargers (no pictures last night). Don't have phone signal at home and no internet service. Just jumped on computer here while at work. Will take some pictures but...

I will go through everything, last night late was the first opportunity I had to look at this. 240 AC central air. I believe I have a bad neutral due to the increase in light brightness that occurs when AC is running. overhead service. I have a lot of electrical experience (just not...

Thanks for the confirmation.

I forgot about the FAQ, I just found the diagram that confirms I should not have neutral bonded.

Hello I apologize in advance for a simple question. Just bought a house in the process of moving all my tools are boxed up, no phone signal at the house etc. Posting this simple question to confirm that sub panel should not have neutral bonded to ground. I have had some lights flickering...
