  My neighbour and I were fed from a common pole, and lost the neutral to our two houses. Lots of damage - especially to motorized equipment. But surprisingly, not much damage on electronics - especially those with switching power supplies. A lot of low power electronics is worldwide rated (120/240, 50/60Hz) and saved the day! The worst damage was losing large freezers - not just the pain of quickly relocating the food, but replacing a large and cumbersome appliance. I did have a  MOV-style surge bar that had burned out, but luckily self-extinguished before any damage - leaving just a smoke stain on the wall.

  Not long after we moved into a previously occupied home, in Cheyenne, WY, we noticed the living room plug-in lights flickering. The house wiring was aluminum and the contractor had used plug-in receptacles! I rewired the outlets and was unaware of the requirement to use an Al to CU compound. We had no other problems for the seven years we were there.

  I had a floating neutral at a house I lived in and I plugged in my fluke and watched the 120 VAC floated between 105 and 119 degrees. &nbsp;It was the Utility transformer
