EMF is everywhere power is.. old 2 prong water bed heaters would light up the water and you..
And the smell of burnt vinyl and the mess...EMF is everywhere power is.. old 2 prong water bed heaters would light up the water and you..
I've also seen this problem caused by loose neutral neutral connections at the transformers, meter sockets & in panels. Ultimately all neutral wires [& grounds] need to end up connected to the center tap in the secondary of the power company's transformer. Loose connections between the panel neutral bus & the tranny center tap cause the panel neutral potential to "float" instead of being about zero volts with respect to ground & about 120 volts with respect to either [240 volt] hot terminal. That wasn't your problem but if lights dim or brighten a lot when 120-volt motors or heaters start check voltage between neutral bus & power line in terminals on either side of your main breaker with these devices are on. I've seen several main breakers develop resistance with age [mainly 100A breakers]. [A weird & rare occurrence that can happen is that a neutral connection opens up in a building & the neutral unbalance fault current flows between ground ground rods &/or cold water pipe bonding to those in neighboring buildings, particularly if they're fed by the same tranny.]
