Electric help

[nyvp]

Anyone have a strong electrician backround that has some spare time? When any load goes on in my house the rest of the house equipment slows down. I found this out when I checked my skimmer pumps when I turn on my MH's. I already checked my circuits and my pumps are on seperate ones. I think it may be in my panel or on the transformer. Any help would be appreciated.

Electric help

Hey Joe if u want to go the pro way the electrician that worked in my home installing my standby is very good-( As u know in south florida is difficult to find good labor).
Anyways he also fixed some of my wiring in my tank and he's really good and reasonable.

Joe, I can probably help you at least diagnose what's going on. I have another kill-a-watt, a couple of multimeters, and a clamp-on ammeter. We could try a couple of things and pinpoint what's happening. Also, we could take a look at your panel, I still suspect your loads are heavy on one leg of the incoming 120V.

If any significant changes are needed, you're probably best to go with a pro. I've done my own electrical work at home, but hesitate to touch anyone else's. I took just enough EE classes in college to be dangerous.

Maybe sometime this weekend. I'd love to bring Christy by to see your tank anyway.

it is poss that you are close to your max load when whatever kicks will make a dim.

I dont think so remember I have no stove no dryer no hot water heater those are all gas. The only thing electric is my house is my tank and A/C units (lights & TV of coarse)

Joe,

I'll give you a call tomorrow. Since we have the bowling thing Sunday, perhaps sometime tomorrow afternoon. Maybe we could work it in before/after a stop at Jeff & Dave's.

I just want to thank Jeff and his Christy who were nice enough to come over and help figure out my electric problems. Looks like we may have figured it out.
