Just a note of caution. An open neutral will still allow appliances to run. The return will be through the opposite hot. Even loads will keep the voltages even on each side. When the loads are not even the voltage will increase on one side and go down on the other. Yes anything plugged in that uses power, microwave, TV, converter, etc. will be affected. Voltage too high will shorten its life and cause failures within a year or less. Under voltage may also cause problems as well. You need your neutral to provide the return. I had, without knowing a loose neutral in my power reel and it took a while to fine it. I lost more than what I listed over six months. The converter was the first, TV second, microwave third, an AC unit fourth, etc..
