Electrician Question

[sandyut]

If anyone is or was an electrician...

Our voltage regulator (several 240 circuits) has been alarming and our Ting monitor is showing voltage drops to about 107 volts.

Xcel was just here and its not their supply. Our electrician will be out tomorrow. BUT. Curious what could be wrong? To complicate everything: we have a backup generator and solar system wired in. Breaker box is outside and we have needed to place some breakers that had water corrosion on them. Ive never seen water in the box, but the house has been owned by several folks and one did "creative" things where he shouldnt have.

Any preliminary ideas?

Would need a lot more information. Are you saying it's dropping to 107 vac per leg?

Did you try to shut down one breaker at a time. And see if the volts increased?

That question goes higher than my understanding of the system...

its intermittent. sometimes it will happed 6 times in an hour or two, sometimes just one and done.

AI says basically, something is loose and causing resistance. The breaker box has been extensively messed with and is outside. (why they put in outside when he have all the weather here makes no sense to me.

I found a good electrician a while back. He is more of a fix it when breaks guy, I might just ask him to make it right and check every connection. After a couple of the breakers were found to have water damage, I kinda want them all replaced.
