^^^^^This^^^^^ - I had an issue tthat would come and go. Turns out - 1 of the 2 120v lines coming in to my service box from the pole had the insulation damaged when they were buried. The distance from the pole to my foundation was only @30 ft.

So when the ghosts in the wiring came out - I took a volt meter to both main incoming lugs - the bad 1 only showed @40v. That was the problem.

Power company comes our, digs it up in that area. Looks as if water would contact the exposed cabling and literally arc'd until the wires were eaten away
