I have written this before but my Progressive Industries hard wired surge protector detected volts of 136 at my house a number of years ago. I called the power company and they checked it out. It was a problem at their substation.
If engineering a new campground installation for thirty-two volts of voltage drop at the receptacles, doing so surely seems a bit excessive. Utility power voltage drop likely cannot be controlled if utility lines are undersized for their demand. However, campground voltage drop affords greater control based on the wire gauges used and the number of pedestals wired together on a single circuit. Unfortunately, plugging in more stuff from RV’s to EV’s without upgrading everything from electric power generation to power distribution, things may not end well.
Mike. Thanks. Great article

What causes the over voltage.
