This is interesting because by regulation, the frequency is limited in how far it can deviate from 60Hz. I've got a Nixie clock I built that relies on the 60cps as the time reference but since I don't show seconds I've never noticed the fluctuation. Fellow Nixians have noted a several second slow down during heavy load periods but the lines are adjusted during light periods to "catch up" so the net is zero. If you're having to adjust your clocks to make up the difference then something is wrong! I'd call them on it! Check out the link, it discusses the situation in western US and how the states are tied together. Cory CLICK HERE TO GO TO cadman's LINK |

I put Kill-A-Watt in a search and a lot of places came up where it can be purchased. |
