Maybe you shouldn't post such strong statements about a technology you know very little about.
First: The 737 does not actually have a RAT.
Second: On types that have a RAT (e.g. the A320) it isn't electrical, it provides hydraulic power to operate the flight controls.
If you need emergency electrical power from a RAT equipped aircraft it will be from an haudraulically driven AC generator through a constant speed drive. It will not have voltage fluctuations, only risk is frequency being off and aircraft systems are designed to deal with that.
