A good advertisement for installing a UPS.  It doesn't have to be big enough 
to run the mill although I did have one once that could.  Basically, anything 
that can supply the box for 3 to 5 seconds during such a brownout should at 
least be a down payment on the insurance policy.

However, I have not noted the lights dimming or flickering when my 2hp belt 
driven 120 volt compressor fires up.  I ran a hunk of 6-3 UF to the shop, 
very little drop.  But it took a slow, 20 amp breaker to have it stay up when 
it starts, so it is a pretty decent pull.
