    One power glitch and it takes about 20 min or so for it to recover.

    No, I've found that it just needs to be unplugged and replugged.

    "We have talked about whole house protection systems for spikes and surges but I am not sure either of those types of faults occurred.

    Any educated ideas? Im all out."

    Sorry, I've never seemed to have figured out the "Quote/Reply" functions, so...

    All I can tell you, after 40+ yrs. in the elec. careers, you are entering a subject area (power quality/not quality, protection, monitoring, analysis et al) which is so vast, and complex, and varied that only plenty of learning, research, and great intuition can start to explain a great deal of it all.

    I will not relate any horror stories I've seen or heard about, it gets very long and wearing. BUT there WERE indeed some real doozies.

    I hope that my suggestion as a resource of Electrical Construction & Maintenance Magazine, a professional electrical trade publication, will be of help.

    Link: http://ecmweb.com/

    There are available there many years' archived information.

    Particularly interesting to me has been their Forensic Investigation columns, which I know will help you understand some of the finer points of determing causality when property damage, injury and even death results from [ often unseen and elusive ] causes of failure in electrical systems.

    Best of luck, please keep us up on anything you do find out.
