55. A power surge, or transient, is a temporary increase in voltage on a power line. Tr. 20-21, Complainant Exhibit 2. 56. Power surges typically have less voltage than power spikes but last longer. Tr. 20-21, Complainant Exhibit 2. 57. Electric appliances will break down if exposed to power spikes or surges over a long period of time. Tr. 23. 58. Flickering lights can be caused by any voltage transient, like a microwave or a heat pump turning on and off. Tr. 107. 59. On October 20, 2012, Mr. Rounce sent a letter to PECO complaining about surges, voltage, spike, voltage drops, brownouts and service outages he had experienced while residing at the Service Address. Tr. 50, Complainant Exhibit 6. 60. On March 1, 2013, PECO installed a recording volt meter (RVM) in Complainant’s house. Tr. 110-11, PECO Exhibit 5. 61. The RVM is attached to the service wire of a property for a certain period of time for the purpose of monitoring and recording voltage and current into and out of the property. Tr. 110-11. 62. Once the RVM is installed, PECO is able to obtain actual current and voltage data, as well as root mean square (RMS) voltage and current data from the device. Tr. 112-13. 63. The RMS is an average of voltage and current data over a certain period of time. Tr. 113. 64. PECO’s RVM remained in Mr. Rounce’s residence for 10 days. Tr. 113.
