42-355 field coil gets very warm
#19

Sometimes your utility will be nice enough to do that. I've had the same issue before and they complied. But often is the case when they come out on a hot sunny day and say "harrumph, its 124 volts - nothing wrong with that" oblivious to the fact it may be reaching 130 at night when there's less load.

We had a spell here a few years back that had me at 127-128 in the evening and it took its toll on light bulbs and a few old radio xfmrs. The issue has since been corrected (it wasn't my local xfmr) but during that time I stocked up on some bargain-priced 50 watt / 18 ohm Dale chassis mount resistors. They will drop about 6-10 volts on most radios.

I could spare any of you fellows a couple for the mailing cost. Call it $1 for one or 1.50 fer two. Easier than winding your own Icon_smile
