Hi Kerry.

Yes, I know the fuses on the top of the pole that are very big are indeed rated PRIMARY voltage --- might be 7200 or something else.....7200 is very common though.

What I meant when I said 120v is only coming from 1 leg FROM the transformer is that maybe one of the windings in the transformer went out....so the other 120v leg is dead.

OR what might be going on......is different transformers are used to feed different legs of a secondary 120v circuit on the poles.......and it's configured incorrectly.

A call to your power company.....if you could ever talk to a lineman or engineer would straighten it out.

YOU are sure that one leg of your fuse panel/box is not off, correct???
