Stabilizing 220 voltage?

[Kevin C]

If look at the first pic of the splice, u can clearly see that its a blue wire nut. And those may be the very reason why he was having voltage sagging issues!

Here is the deal... It looks like a wire nut, unscrews like a wire nut,,, It even has the little handles like a wire nut.

I just don't want to believe that its a wire nut.

Translation .. WTF, a wire nut in an exposed location for a service drop?

Theres a few reasons..

1. Tree trimming on private property is the customer's responsibility if they want good service. If they want to let the service burn up, then we will clear more than you want done to run a new service when the old one fails. We will remove something that falls hard on it, but no preventitive stuff on private property secondary services. When I feel like being a smart ***, I ask people if they would get their mail if they let a tree grow in front of their mailbox

2. Towns limit the tree trimming and blame it on the POCO when this **** hits the fan.

3. Investor owned companies don't want to spend money on it. Although they have been doing it a lot more lately now that we get a once in 30 years storms twice a year.

Sorry I can't relate. The POCO here remove all tree branches at all times. In my area we don't have any of that going on. All the power is in the ground and can't say I have seen a over head wire in this city for ages.
