[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 1272563, member: 9198"] Several folks have correctly identified the problem with the neutral circuit, not the ground. The ground is a safety feature. There is a ground wire run to the bottom of the service pole, another one from the meter loop/main disconnect box to ground and yet another from the breaker box in or attached to the house. You are losing neutral intermittently through a loose connection somewhere between the pole/transformer/meter loop and the rest of the distribution. I would be willing to bet that all of your 220V appliances or tools function just fine but all of your 110V stuff is going crazy. Only the 110V equipment uses neutral as a return path. Get your co op folks back out there to fix the problem. HeII, the problem could and probably is at the transformer. This is not something you should be messing with. [/QUOTE]
