2. Voltage spike - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_spike

   However voltage spikes can also have more mundane causes such as a fault in a transformer or higher-voltage (primary circuit) power wires falling onto lower-voltage (secondary circuit) power wires as a result of accident or storm damage. Voltage spikes may be longitudinal (common) mode or metallic (normal or differential) mode.

3. Overvoltage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overvoltage

   Lack of 3-phase electric system connected by star. If neutral breaks off, small-power appliances will be destroyed by overvoltage. Electronic and electrical devices are designed to operate at a certain maximum supply voltage, and considerable damage can be caused by voltage that is higher than that for which the devices are rated.

9. Brownout (electricity) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownout_(electricity)

   A switched-mode power supply will be affected if the brownout voltage is lower than the minimum input voltage of the power supply. As the input voltage falls, the current draw will increase to maintain the same output voltage and current, until such a point that the power supply malfunctions or its under-voltage protection kicks in and disables ...
