Minimum allowed drop on ac voltage
I am trying to run a elect heater off my 120 20 amp circuit plugged in at home. It drops to around 104 volts when using. Will this cause any problems?

Surge Guard Protectors with High and Low voltage protection trips at 132V HI and at 102V Lo.
Resistive type devices (heaters, elements) are OK with 104V
Inductive type devices (motors) can be damaged below 108V (due to the higher amp draw)
Run your space heater.
OR use a bigger gauge extension cord and run it
Just check for overheating at plug/adapters from outlet to rig
