I was working at a house a couple of years ago, and while I was working, I noticed the can lighting was going from bright to really bright, and fluctuating a lot. I took note when the AV receiver started shutting off. My fluke meter indicated fluctuations from 120v to nearly 150v.
The utility company was there within the hour and it was a bad connection of the neutral line at the meter location.
With neutral broken completely, I have no doubt it could have risen to double 117 volts.
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.
