Residential Service — Voltage Monitoring Report
Generated 2026-07-24 16:50:48 · Continuous monitoring since 2026-06-29 20:49:29 · 1,962,742 samples recorded
Measurement Method
- Three calibrated energy meters, each on a separate 120 V branch circuit, spanning both legs (Leg A and Leg B) of the split-phase service.
- One 240 V line reference measuring line-to-line voltage and grid frequency.
- Sampled continuously every 1–2 seconds since 2026-06-29 20:49:29.
- Legs measured independently; Leg A + Leg B cross-checks against the 240 V line reference.
Worst Recorded Events
Leg imbalance: Leg A 101.8 V and Leg B 122.8 V simultaneously — a 21.1 V imbalance — on 2026-07-23 08:31:29
Whole-service sag: the 240 V line voltage dropped to 220.2 V (2026-07-02 22:34:32) — both legs sagging together, distinct from the leg-to-leg imbalance.

What the Data Shows
- The two 120 V legs move in opposite directions — one sags sharply while the other rises — the leg-to-leg imbalance.
- Separately, at times the 240 V line voltage itself drops (both legs sagging together, down to ~220.2 V) — indicating a voltage drop across the service under load, not only a neutral imbalance.
- Grid frequency remained normal (~60 Hz) throughout, indicating the variation originates in the local service, not the wider grid.
- Events are concentrated in evening and overnight hours and largely absent midday (see timing below).
- Peak imbalance has increased over the monitoring period (see daily trend).
