Thanks for the good info. I am not sure what exactly my particular SurgeGuard will do, but it has tripped at times, so I know it does something.
My routine before plugging in to any 120v pedestal is to first try out my three-light tester (with 30/15 adapter), so that should take care of any "issues" the surge guard does not.
If there is low voltage suspected, I stick my voltmeter in set to 120v.
So unless I missed something, I think I can continue with that routine, and not have to buy an actual EMS like the OP has. (That will also keep me from having to make up a funny bonded adapter when using my Honda gen, based on other threads about that)
