[AT] Shhhh now Wiring

[Gene Dotson]

    Rick;
        Yes, the transformer has been eliminated. Shows full voltage under 
load at meter lugs. Wire to house shows full voltage at meter and back 
probing wire ahead of main breaker  shows 113 volts with no load and using 
the well pump for load, the voltage drops to 33 volts. The transformer also 
feeds the shop and everything is fine there.

    Yes, you are right in that there is a high resistance somewhere in the 
entrance wire between the meter and breaker, but not able to get under to 
check it out. The wire under the floor runs on top of the ground, so could 
have been tempting to a rat at some time and now corroding and losing 
conductivity.

                                                                Gene
