Here in my part of PA power delivery is horrible. Incoming voltage fluctuates wildly. We had a storm last week and lost power - flipped multiple breakers, including 2 220v breakers for my well pumps. When I flipped them back on, one well pump controller immediately fried (sparks flew across basement) - the other one I saw a bright flash but it's still working. This is not the first time this has happened....seems like just prior to power going out there is often a surge that gets trapped? 2 years ago I lost both controllers, a range hood and a treadmill. Same scenario each time...flipping breakers back on seemed to release a "surge" that immediately fried whatever was on that circuit. This time it cost me one well controller and a dishwasher. Getting old! And, I have whole house surge protectors on the breaker box as well as lightning suppression and somehow this still happens.
