I am having a weird issue at my home that has been getting progressively worse over the past few months. It all started out with some specific circuits (not all of them) that would intermittently fluctuate their supply voltage (ie: Lights would flicker on and off) and would cause the devices on these circuits (ie: internet modem) to reset. This only seems to happen on some specific circuits, but not all of them. This would happen intermittently and would follow no apparent pattern (ie: not when any specific load was on, like the washing machine). No changes to the original wiring was done, this issue just started happening a few months ago and is getting progressively worse. No circuit breakers would trip at this point either.
What was really strange last night, and this only happened for a few hours (around 4 hrs), was that some of the circuit breakers held their output voltage (when the breaker was on) at 110 VAC, and the other specific ones (same ones that would flicker that were mentioned above) would hold their output voltage at 2 VAC. I had to reset the Main Breaker and hold for at least 5 seconds. Once I turned the main breaker back on, the output voltage on all breakers would maintain their voltage at 110 VAC.
Has anyone ever experienced this issue before, and if so, how do I start to trouble shoot/
