Hi George, One suggestion I have is to put a line viewer or recording device on an unprotected power circuit to record power disturbance events over a period of time. You should be able to rent these recorders if you need hard evidence.
There are also some interesting stories at the Oneac site http://www.oneac.com/. Click on "Real Life Stories" for some interesting reading. Hope this helps. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Kwok, P.Eng. Principal Engineer Electromagnetic Compatibility Intetron Consulting, Inc.
