Abnormal Voltage Reading

[rdnckgrl78]

I have a Monster Power (protector thingy) for my Tv, DVD, and Satellite receiver.  All of a sudden everything shut off and the Power thingy is reading abnormal voltage.  Does anyone know what I am supposed to do? The reset button on the back is not popped out, so I cant reset it.  I tried unplugging the power thingy and seeing if that made a difference but nothing.  It usually reads between 120-125 and not it is reading 130-132.  What can I do so I can watch tv again.

Thanks

So...out of nowhere everything turned back on...the reading is still showing 130-133 but everything is working.

and now back off

I think the power up here is not very good. Some days my breakers flip and I have to reset them and almost nothing is on. And some days I can run everything, at the same time on the circuit, and the breaker is fine.

Not an answer to your question... Didn't want you to feel ignored.

Call Edison. We had a problem like this a while back and it was an Edison issue. Too much voltage is the problem. Olny Edison can fix it!

The voltage in and around Wrightwood is too high. Up here in Big Pines it is coming out of the wall at 134 volts. Much too high. Normally 128 is the max we should have coming to our services. I called Edison. Others should do the same. Without devices such as surge protectors you have no way of telling without a meter to read the voltage. CALL EDISON!

Currently we are experiencing a prblem with Edison Service. The voltage is too high. It is around 134 volts currently. I have called Edison. Unplug sensitive equipment and call Edison.

It is ok to use our Tv's if we have the regulator?

[Hillbillies]

Edison told my wife that our circuits are showing nothing unusual  

[Tomas]

We've had several lightbulbs burning out where I am.

Your TV should be fine if it's plugged into the regulator.

Just checked ours with two different "accurate" meters and it's reading 131.8 on Linnet Rd.

I'm calling

[rdnckgrl78]

I just called and they issued a report...said someone will be out today

[Wrightwood]

Just got off the phone with SCE and told them that this was wide spread in Wrightwood. She issued an order and said it has priority but no guarantees. It will be looked at today.

Everyone is urged to call.

She recommended sensitive electronic equipment should be unplugged.

What might be considered sensitive?

[Kimy1387]

I'm not having any problems, but I called anyway. I was told there isn't anything unusual going on??......

Take it from me "High Voltage" is nothing to mess around with.

The "light bulbs" burning out strikes home with me! I have had many,many frequent bulbs burning out in my dining/living room lamps! I just put in a brand new bulb in one particular over-head dining lamp and it burnt out within a month! I am buying/changing bulbs like Never before!! Is this a result of what is being mentioned here?

[Elk]

Yes. High voltage will blow bulbs. You will notice that most bulbs have a 130v marking on them. This is the max voltage the bulb can handle without blowing.

I have also been playing musical bulbs the last month or two. Stealing from the closet to put in the kitchen etc...

And "sensitive" electronic equipment would be anything purchased in San Francisco.

I'm unable to get up the hill to unplug the sensitive equipment.  Is Edison liable for any damage to sensitive electronic equipment?
