End result is as follows: FPL tech came out and said that they have the park hooked through a capacitor in this section. It keeps the voltage at 245-255 volts. I didn't ask a lot after that. He said it was run with a capacitor because in the summer the air conditioning draws were huge and they needed the excess voltage.
He said he was going over to take the capacitor off-line and it would go back to 240 volts. It now reads 239-242 volts and everything has been fine for a week.
Yes, it did peak at 259 and 261 volts previously and our surge protector kicked us off.
The mystery still exists in that when the surge protector kicks in EVERYTHING is dead for the allotted ten minutes. If we have a power outage from FPL then only the 110 volt is dead and all the 12 volt systems are still active as is the generator and the invertor for the fridge. Maybe this is way the surge protector works?
