@carlsbad yes that is likely the burns look old the service to the house was redone 20 years ago and likely that is when it happened. I was luck because the house is in an area where they upgraded the wiring so I can put in the two hundred amp service. At one point if electric cars really end up coming about I got the service upgrade for free except my end after the meter. That will not stay that way if everybody wants that.
New power service
I had a new power service put into my home today. I needed to service my new woodshop. So had a 200 amp service put in upgraged the 100 amp service that was here.Anyhow while I was at it I paid the extra to make sure the feeds were all copper and removed the aluminum out of the power delivery to my home. The old meter base when they removed the old meter was burnt wondering if there was a short in the meter at some time in the past
Anyhow new copper wire new meter and meter base and even though the amps are not warm.yet everything has taken a large step up. It was special before it is scary good now.

@soix if you do decide to look into it. Have them take the meter off the meter base that took about half a minute the meter has a couple of large spades that push into the receptacle. Lol kind of like a king sized plug in. I should see if I can take a picture of mine and post it. Thinking a bunch of magis is from the meter base replacement. Thinking I might end up listening to the different receptacles and plugs on power cords again things have changed enough it will likely be easier to come to a judgement but a fellow might change his mind.

@ erik_squires what would you suggest for one. I have never cares for any type of surge protector in my system tried a bunch years ago and I just gave up on the idea and plugged everything directly into the receptacles. Most years I unplug the solid state stuff during thunderstorm season and listen to the tube system instead it gets turned off each use. |
