For the last 48 hours I have been fighting to get my power turned back on. A wire from the transformer to the top of the meter was loose and burned up the lug where the meter plugs in. I had noticed over the last couple of months my bill was getting higher and higher with little change in perceived demand. Would this type of failure cause a higher usage rate? I discovered it when only half the house worked and none of the 240 volt devices weren"t starting. I had 120 on one leg and 54 volts on the other.
Now for the bureaucratic B/S. After replacing the meter box I was told that I had to bring the whole system up to 2011 code. This place was built in 1985. How far do they expect me to go??? I am in New Mexico and I can"t get a straight answer. Some say the whole property. Another said gust to the distribution panel. An inspector is supposed to come by Tuesday I guess due to Presidents Day. I got a waver so that I have electricity until then. Anyone out there had any experience with this situation? LarryT
