I work in the distribution grid protection equipment business, and our
products include measurement capability up to the 16th harmonic for both
the voltage and current measurements made on the line. For classic grid
protection primarily the fundamental and second harmonic are used, but the

What's the frequency response of the transformer
on the pole outside my house
at the nearby
A transformer may distort the waveform but that distortion should be
constant, whereas a person monitoring line voltage at a particular location
will be looking for changes with time. Effects of the transformer could be
ignored, in that case.

Hi
On a similar note:
If the transformer works well up to 600Hz, isn’t that high enough to capture
anything that actually is grid related (as opposed to local to your home /
neighborhood )?
One could easily argue that the other end is the pinch point. There may well
be interesting things
But do you want to measure anything other than mains frequency? IF not,
waveform distortion in immaterial.
Or am I missing something here?
My mains monitor uses an old wall wart with 9V rectified but unregulated DC
out - 5V regulator on the display board. I added an extra wire to one side

Stick with the transformer. The use of a capacitive divider is predicated on
the line waveform always being a sine wave. Dream on! All it takes is one good
spike down the line, maybe only 20-30V amplitude, and your capacitive divider
