Default Unusual event

So, you didn't lose any voltage at the breakers as you first indicated?

Both breakers are working perfectly.

It sounds like you lost one pole of each double pole breaker. Just
loosing 11 volts wouldn't stop it from working. If you lost one pole of
each of those breakers you probably lost one leg of the main breaker or
the entire service. In a modern breaker panel, there is pretty much no
way to loose one leg of just two breakers

In my breaker box, I have two 40A breakers side by side. One is for the
A/C, one is for the electric dryer.

Seemingly simultaneously, both of them experienced a loss of power
(around 11V) on one leg. Thus, neither the dryer nor a/c work.

Can anyone imagine how this could happen, seemingly simultaneously?
