I'll add my 2 cents and say that any ac motor which goes into lo-line stall or hi-line saturation. I.e. refrigerators, air conditioners where the compressor can be damaged. A brownout causing the motor to stall drawing more current than normal and overheating. Or at a high enough level where a motor goes into saturation. Then, it can draw enorous currents and overheat.
Switchers can tend to go nuts in lo-line causing it to draw a high current with a high load.
