Finding a bad neutral on a Service - Raw footage

Hey all!

I wanted to show a couple shots of this job because we receive flickering light calls quite often. There can be dozens of reasons as to why the lights are flickering but there are two main categories:

Loose "hot" connection.
or
Bad neutral.

It's important to figure out what exactly you're looking for first. A bad neutral can harm customer equipment, so it's important to rectify that problem before leaving.

A bad/loose hot connection - voltage will always go down. If voltage goes up on one side, you have a bad neutral. it's literally as simple as that.

That being said, there are the occasional transformer or tap changer problems that can result in high voltage.. If that's the case the voltage will be consistently high as opposed to high/normal as load is removed.

I just grabbed this footage quick, as usually the customer is hanging around a lot more when I respond to these calls (Inappropriate for filming). Today, the customer left for a dinner so I figured I grab a couple quick shots. I apologize for the bad camera angles on this one :(... I literally just took my phone out without any planning or lighting.
