Interesting. Yes the grid frequency drops when the generating station is overloaded, the gensets slow down and the output frequency depends on ratational speed, theres an online gizmo for the uk that shows the current frequency, it says at the lower end 'overloaded'. This side of the pond you can get little metal can line filters, I've robbed a couple from scrap computers, you might get somewhere with one of these. I work in a manufacturing plant, we work with polymer and use lots of power, harmonic distortion and reactive power issues are a problem, we have huge filters and power factor correction systems, anyway distortion can produce odd effects, I cant explain exactly what would happen in a clock to make it run slow but I can beleive it!.
