Surge Protector use with general
When using an external generator should a surge protector be used to protect the camper?
Forum Discussion
There are two types of "Surge Protector" one is nothing more than a Spike suppressor Some "Contractor Grade" generators are big time with spikes. (They hammer your electronics just like they hammer your ears)
Inverter Generators are not so big on spikes (As in they generally do not produce any)
NOTE: Spike suppressors can only do so much, then they need replacement.
the other kind of surge guard is voltage/frequency monitor
Now again, with inverter generators not needed, They already have that feature built in as it were.
With contractor jobs.. Well, depends.
NOTE: before plugging in do test voltage.
