[QUOTE="UNG, post: 551644, member: 8931"] The fault you describe sounds more like a floating neutral where the neutral has lost it's earth reference and the voltage floats relative to the individual phase loads. I've seen this quite a few times over the years where a phase can be under voltage and another will be over voltage Depending on the level of over voltage it can create some serious damage to a lot of equipment [/QUOTE]
