Mystery Behind High Voltage That Damage Your Appliances During Rainy Season by Nobody: 3:14pm On May 14, 2015
Many Peoplewithoutpvc have noticed that at the early period of the rainy season, voltages or currents supplied in our home are too high damaging many appliances in our homes. This is because rain plays a role in the current available to our homes.

Electric current in our homes are supplied by two cables. One is know as the live while the other is known as the neutral. The neutral is influenced by availability of water on the ground where it is built.

The neutral is built by mixing certain contents deep down the earth which includes Salt and water. This create room for free flow of radicals that carries current to and from the ground to transformer and to our various homes.

When the rains are gone and dry season set, the ground water reduce drastically and the flow of radicals drop resulting to low current. This where the NEPA officials make a big mistake by tuning up the current supply from the transformer instead of providing water to the ground where the neutral was located. Well, it is easier to tune up current than providing water to the ground in the dry season.

When the rain start dropping after a long period of drought, the ground becomes wet giving rise to free flow of radicals. This give rise to increase in electric current available at our source. The level of tune up during the drought determines how high the current would get, hence, the damage of appliances when this happen.

If the NEPA OFFICIAL is proactive enough, the quickly go to the transformer and tune down the voltage to balance the current flow, else the more damages to appliances and buildings.

The NEPA officials has not corrected this high voltage in my area. Because of the High voltage, no one is using the light and it has been on since morning. Had people been using the light, it wouldn't last this long.
