As for the 220 being applied, if you loose neutral you will have no return path so things quit working, not burn up.

Now if you plugged into a 30A plug, wired to run a A/C unit on a park model, yes you would have 220vac between hot and neutral and yes you would destroy everything.

Jim, We were in Branson at a rally when one of our MOC memebers unit lost its neutral. Fans sped up, microwaves and other electronics fried. Much like the scenerio Michael, SNFEXPRESS, experienced. I had a hard time understanding how that happened until I found the following explanation: http://diy.stackexchange.com/questio...-and-brownouts Best explanation I have found. I'm having trouble understanding you 30amp scenerio except as it would relate to the loss of a neutral. Could you eloborate? Jim
