They do that even for my CTC15 clones. Utility voltage regulation here kinda sucks... There's an industrial park about a mile away and depending on what their doing the effectiveness of the microwave and electric stove here varies substantially... Things used to be worse though the lights used to flicker every few seconds for hours on end several years ago when nothing much was powered on here...had to get VRT isolation transformers to stop my TVs from blooming.
I did learn that the RCA, Conrac, Packard Bell roundy, CCII Zenith and stand by current from several game consoles is enough to trip a breaker that I never knew the metal power strip that feeds them had.
