House AC Line Variance

I have 240V AC and it varies between 220 and 255!
I bought a Thor PS10 power station and that unit shows input AC voltatage and output AC voltage on it's display. Now no matter what the input voltage, it always provides a stable 240V output. This has done the trick for me, and given me piece of mind too...maybe you could consider a similar solution.

Thanks for the responses.
I am going to give a voltage regulation (APS 1050) sysem a try.
I love my line conditioner (Sound Application RLS) and what it does to the sound, but this may be the better solution for the large variation in voltage in my house. I just hope it sounds as good.

Benb, the APS will not even approach the sound that you are getting from the Sound Application. I don't have any experience with the Thor, but other voltage regulators are sonically poison. Fortunately, my line voltage varies .2 volts from 124 over an entire week when I had a voltage recorder on the line. This is in a rapidly growing community with much demand from air conditioning. It can be done, but my city power seems more interested that for profit providers. I think your voltage is too high and probably will shorten the life of your components. I would press your provider to deal with your over voltage problem.

Not long ago I visited a friend in Nashville. In the Summer he had a maximum of 114 volts and a low of 103 volts. The sound was awful. He will not raise hell with the TVA to do something. I cannot understand why people don't raise hell if need be to get the ac they have a right to.

Tbg,

Sounds like you have experience with regulators. So what do they do to the sound that is poison? Have you listened to battery UPS types? And do you prefer line conditioners? Transformer-based or not?
I am in communication with the power company but the neighborhood is 75 years old and it seems like they won't be of much help.

Interesting problem your friend has tbg, in my neck of the woods you have too much voltage much of the time. I see 130 volts at times. Funny coincidence, i was checking the output of my isoclean isolations transformers the other day. The wall was sending in 130+ volts. I was able to get exiting power from 119 volts up to 150 and more depending on which tap i came off of. Your friend could use one of these boxes to step his power up.
