I asked a buddy with a electrical engineering degree, at one time he
designed transformers for power companies.
he claims a overheated line will not majorily change power
consumption. very minor if any difference
Right answer, wrong question, or at least situation...
In the above instance it was as if another resistive load were
introduced into the line--think adding your electric dryer's heating
element (or more nearly the stove eye) -- that wouldn't add usage? That
heat has to come from somewhere.
