Hi,a member from Ghana
There is this house i just finished wiring and they come to install the meter
Iv realized that,the voltage sometimes rises above 250v so it blows most of the bulbs.
I tested the phases and detected a phase which does not rise above 250v but above 240v
so,I put all the lighting circuits on that particular phase

now most of the bulbs doesn't blow except one circuit, which is closer to the consumer unit. The switch is just beside the consumer unit that is where the circuit starts from.
What should be the cause?
