Yes I've watched some interesting videos on YT regarding household wiring in the US and differences around the world. Do the same standards and regulations apply nationally? I know things like strip lights can be an issue, even appliances such as a fridge or microwave can cause issues.No, not particularly. I would note that the us is 9.6M sq km .... it's hard to generalize. In my area, it's rock solid. In areas with a lot of overhead power lines it can be less reliable. But this isn't really about up and down power events, it's about the cleanliness when it's normal. The in-house wiring setup can introduce issues too.
