Wayne - would keep any discussion about TED meters on line so we all can 
learn?  Of course you'd be discussing their application in your shop, right?

That's really high.  Places I've lived and worked in the last 30 years
come in pretty close at 120V. I don't know if it would really damage
anything, other than making your lights brighter and shorter lived.

Mine runs a pretty constant 119 - 121 on 200A service in a 10 year old
house.  BTW, there was talk a few months ago about TED meters.  I've now
had one for a couple months.  Bother me off line if curious.
