A well designed power supply should effectively isolate the downstream circuits it powers from rapid line voltage fluctuations AND it should also largely isolate the line from rapid fluctuations in downstream energy draw. This is part of the benefit of a large power supply energy storage capability in the form of "charged" power supply capacitors and/or inductors when there is no active power supply regulation employed. If long term and slow fluctuations are important, active regulation should be employed.
Agree. A well designed power supply ...... How about a not so well designed power supply? Not all power supplies are created equal.
And then there's the variability in voltage supplied to your main panel that's caused by random load switching by your neighbors who happen to be on the same distribution transformer as you. No dedicated circuit will reduce or correct this condition.
Highly unlikely a home owner would experience voltage fluctuations on his mains caused by varying loads of a neighbor home owner sharing the same utility transformer.
