We just had a power problem at a campground last weekend that fried our microwave. A progressive industries surge guard plugged into the pole showed Open Neutral while the tools the campground maintenance guys were using just confirmed voltage so they thought nothing was wrong!
The campground had an electrician come out after we explained to management what our device was showing, and he confirmed there was an issue with the neutral. They have since agreed to pay for our repairs.
We will never plug in without first testing with the progressive industries surge guard now, as that could have prevented our having to come back home and replace fuses and then try to find out what all was impacted!
I'm confused :H
How did your microwave get damaged IF Progressive Industries showed 'open neutral' which will not allow power thru surge guard to RV ???
Or is it that you checked power pedestal with the Progressive Industries---it indicated open neutral and then you went ahead and used the power pedestal WITHOUT the surge guard in use??
