I have a 2004 winne adventurer with basement air. I also use a surgegard protector. I was in a park and low voltage happened where air was running and I was outside getting a extra chair out for guests and I smelled plastic burning.apparently the power was down to 104 or 105 volts about an hour and the damage happened.The ac burned up 2 run capacitors, a printed circuit, and 2 start capacitors. The wire harness had to be replaced too.
the surgegard doesnt cut low voltage until 102 volts. Anything under 108 can damage appliances.It did mine. Now I own A huges autoformer to increase voltage when needed.I now use them both autoformer at the pedestal first and then surge gard just before the MH plug.now its protected!
. That's why I asked if these switches could be bought to shut off at 108 v. They seem a lot cheaper than the surge guards. I have heard several people say their surge protectors did not protect them from this kind of low voltage. I am not sure how quick these switches work but it sounds like if they shut off fairly quickly you could add one that would cut out below 108 v and over 130v and your AC would be protected or even add one to your main power supply to shut off all the power to the MH. Am I missing something basic here?
