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?

There are really two answers to the question.
First one-- will it harm the heater-- NO.
Will it harm other 120 VAC devices you are also running-- certainly possible.
Resistance heaters are NOT voltage sensitive. But many PC boards ARE.
The good news is that most devices will tell you their voltage range if you look in the specs.
