We get brownouts all the time; at least once a day I see the lights flicker and grow dimmer. Sometimes we have a brownout that's bad enough that the electronic clocks go out on our appliances, or maybe it's a short blackout, whatever the difference. That's why we have voltage regulators, not just surge protectors, on all major electronics, to protect against the lows as well as the highs. It might just be our experience but we seem to find that appliances we bought here in Mexico seem to weather the brownouts better than those we brought from the States--maybe they're built with brownouts in mind?
