I got a new toaster and it says it needs 120 Volts AC. My home
voltage measures 116.8333333333...(infinity) volts. (on my Sperry
Meter). I am a perfectionist and I will not allow this new toaster to
be plugged into an improper voltage. I called the power company and
they told me there is nothing to worry about. I told them they are
the ones that have to worry if I contact my attorney and sue them for
charging me for inferior power. My attorney is working on the case,
but in the meantime I'd like to find a transformer to boost the
voltage to precisely 120 volts AC as required. I know that using any
other voltage will not make toast of the desired brownness as
indicated on the color dial, and could damage the electronics within
the toaster. This is unacceptable. Where can I buy a transformer
that will produce precisely 120 volts AC? I already had an
electrician change all the wiring in the kitchen from #14 gauge to #6
gauge to eliminate wire length resistance loss, in the hopes that the
voltage would rise to the proper level, but that did not work, so I
told him not to change the wiring in the rest of the house, and will
put my energies into the lawsuit against the power company, since it's
their power that is faulty. I am also demanding a refund from the
power company in this lawsuit for the amount of incorrect voltage.
Since the voltage is about 3.2% below the recommended rating, I am
going to demand that I be refunded 3.2% of all of my electric bills
since I connected to their grid in 1982. All these years I have paid
for 120 volts, not 116.83.... and I demand a refund for that amount.
I am also going to demand that they pay for all appliances that have
failed since we moved into that house in 82. There's been 5 or 6 tv
sets, several dvd players, several toasters, washers, dryers, furnace
motors, an electric range, air conditioner, radios, stereos a record
player, shavers, vacuums, hair dryers, and a whole lot more, plus my
expensive computer who had power supply failure. By the time this is
over, I plan to own their company. They have a lot of nerve to tell
me nothing is wrong while they continue to bill me for 120v and only
furnish 116.83.... Utility companies are all crooks, but this one is
much worse. They're thieves and liars too.
My grandpa died from the wrong voltage. He was 86, and died in bed with two
twenty year old "entertainers". The autopsy showed he wasn't wired for two
twenty.
