    By my understanding, to some extent you're on the right track, Marq. Having multiple wave patterns can get pretty exciting when one wave pattern is somehow in harmony with another. You can end up with higher voltage spikes, unexpected current flow, or phasing as the different wave forms fall in and out of sync.

    This results in the sorts of problems Murdock referred to.
