It may not be a problem, and maybe it is the old schooling in me that makes me feel that way. Decrease in voltage means an increase in current thus an increase in heat. Maybe newer appliances and electronics will just shut off or not run when the voltage is low, but how is one to know? Years back low voltage was the main reason for appliance replacement. I am just more comfortable knowing that if I am plugged in somewhere and the voltage goes below 105 volts,( because everyone is running their air conditioners or space heater, or I am in a jam-packed campground), that my unit will power off.
