Some of our Cellular base stations are located in regions of Chile where power 
is being intentionally turned off due to low water conditions at hydro-electric 
plants. We have been montoring the voltage at these sites due to concerns about 
the battery backup system. The cell sites use 380V Line to Line, 220V Line to 
Neutral, 3-Phase power. During restoration of power, the voltage on neutral 
sometimes rises to 220V Line to Ground for several cycles. The voltage on the 
phases has been measured as great as 440V Line to Line for several cycles, with 
Line to Neutral voltages as high as 380V.  There does not seem to be much power 
available during this transition time with the wild voltages. 

Preliminary measurements in Brazil are showing some of the same results. The 
load regulation at remote sites seems to be a problem.
