my 30 amp plug in surge guard has a key to bypass it leaving the surge protection intact. no need to unplug it.

Specifically which make & model? Surge Guard is a TRC brand name product and I owned the earliest version #34730 portable 30 amp version and it sure didn't offer any way to bypass it, nor I think did the later #34730-001 which replaced it, nor as far as I can tell does the current #34830. Which Surge Guard are you referring to? :h

will check the next time that I have access. mine is about 15? years old. came with a key to bypass it.
but if the current ones don't have it, the exact identity is sort of a moot point isn't it?

"Moot" to me for sure. ;) If yours is indeed a Surge Guard then it's a TRC product and AFAIK no current models offer a "bypass" function ... perhaps originally they did, but I doubt it. If it's not a TRC then it's not a Surge Guard nor is it a Progressive Industries as none of their products that do feature a bypass function are key controlled. Either way, I know of no current surge protector / EMS devices that offer a key controlled bypass so as it relates to the OP asking for recommendations as to which currently available EMS to choose whether your 15 yr old "surge guard" has a key controlled bypass is irrelevant.

Well I have sitting in front of me my Surge Guard RV Power Monitor TRC technology research corp, clearwater, florida Model 34730 that has a key switch on it with ON and Bypass settings.
perhaps they offered a different one in Canada?
