It would happen in case of 3phase domestic use where consumer side load balancing is not being done and there is loose connection in the neutral wire.
Due to the unbalance and poor neutral, the system neutral will be shifted and un balanced voltages will be recorded in all the 3 phases of the house. The phase loaded with much utilities will indicate less voltage and other will have high voltage.
Gadgets connected to this phase will be damaged.
Appliances at home have designated voltage e.g. 220 V or 110 V. When the voltage is dropped, the appliances try to run at their designated power in kW as usual. To keep the power same, current is increased (P = VI). This increase in current can burn the most delicate part of the appliances if the low voltage is experienced persistently.AnswerA drop in supply voltage results in a drop in the power of appliances. For fixed-resistance devices, a 10% drop in voltage results in approx, 18% drop in power.
when a LED is subjected to a high voltage it will heat up and burn the internal junction, which will leave the LED open circuit.
Ideally the voltage regulation voltage of a transformer should be zero. It means when you change the load from no load to short circuit (theoretically, normally you don't want to burn the transformer windings) the output voltage doesn't change and remains equal to the no load voltage.
If, by 'reverse polarity', you mean the accidental reversal of the line and neutral conductors at the socket outlet or receptacle, then the answer is no.
To test a motor, use a megger (megohm meter) to test the insulation of the internal motor windings. Select a voltage to apply to the motor using an output from the megger that is higher that the operating voltage that the motor operates on.

In North America the neutral wire is never fused. This is because of the three wire circuit that uses a common neutral. If there are two loads connected across a common neutral circuit and the neutral opens a 230 volt supply will be impressed across both loads as they are now in series with the supply. If both loads were balanced then the voltage drop across both loads would be equal. Dropping 120 volts across each load. Where the problem arises is if the two loads are not balanced and voltage drop goes higher than the manufactures recommended voltage, then the connected device could burn out.
Household appliances usually have a voltage of either 110 or 220 volts; there should be a sticker somewhere that tells you the voltage for specific appliances. Make sure you don't plug it into the wrong voltage. Especially plugging an equipment designed for 110V into an outlet that gives 220V will burn your equipment.
Technically speaking, voltage does not run through anything, current does. Voltage is the difference in electric potential energy per unit charge between two points. A voltage applied to a load (e.g. appliance) in a closed circuit will cause current to flow and make the load "work". If you apply a different voltage to something other than what it was designed to run on, it will most often not work or burn up. The amount of current that will flow through a device operating from a fixed voltage (like that coming out of the wall in your house) is directly proportional to the resistance. Lower resistance = higher current.
The heat from the appliances will melt the counter top. Also please correct your spelling.
No, they will burn out. the wiring, motors and modules are built to run on and withstand 110v. There are rectifiers that you can buy to reduce the voltage to your appliances. Get ahold of a local electrician and explain the problem. I'm sure you'll be able to get some help. You can use 110v appliances in countries that use 220v, IF you have an adapter (step down transformer) ... you cannot plug them directly into the 220v source for several reasons: 1. The plugs won't match up as the power plug configurations are much different 2. The appliances will literally blow up of catch on fire if you exceed the voltage limit specified on their labels. If you have moved permanently to India and are staying there, it might be in your best interests to buy new appliances.
it all depends on the voltage the light bulb can sustain.
Does it burn your mouth or melt your skin off...... no, it's pretty much neutral.
DC (dirrect current) electricity is not used in homes, because different appliances (lamps, TVs, etc.) use different voltages. By using AC electricity, each appliance can take the voltage it needs. If we used DC, some smaller appliances would constantly burn out, because the voltages are far too high.
Being old is usually what does it. If new headlights burn out, do a voltmeter check. If the voltage is much over 14, your voltage regulator is fried.
avoid the excessive heating of base voltage
Bearings can fail or a diode can burn out. Age is the enemy of an alternator.
