50amp power protector
Looking at the portable 50amp power protectors. What brand are you using? What brand do I need to stay away from?

We've got a Progressive PT50X which replaced a SurgeGuard 50amp. The first SurgeGuard stopped working about a week out of warranty, no obvious reason why. They replaced it under warranty after a bit of a conversation.
The one that replaced the first one failed due to water intrusion into the case about a year after it was out of warranty. It shorted out and damaged my 90° dogbone when it did, although we didn't know it at the time. The converter failed shortly after that so perhaps it was damaged too, no way to tell. But I would never buy another SurgeGuard, or recommend anyone buy one.
The Progressive unit works great and has been trouble free for the last year.
