I’ve got the Watchdog 50A hardwired. Has worked great. Once it warned of a dead leg at a pedestal. The other time it shut down power due to over voltage (129V). Reset it and it showed voltage at 127. This was in the middle of the night when power consumption was low, so voltage spiked.
It’s blue tooth so it showed up on my phone within a second of turning off.
Mine is a portable model. Already paid for itself. Last June in a small park. Very hot afternoon arrival and only one spot available. Every air conditioner in the park was running. Shortly after hooking up our Watchdog shut off the 50-amp power. The code showed low voltage. Park manager’s meter showed 108 volts. IIRC, the Watchdog shuts down at 107. I was offered a refund for the minimal 50-amp charge and survived on one A/C unit plugged into 30-amps with adapter.
We all know that running A/C units on low voltage isn’t good.
