Advice needed for electric pedestal tester
I want to get a good tester to use before hooking up at a campground. Is there one that will check for the usual stuff like polarity, open ground, etc. - as well as tell the voltage? Thanks for ...

Hi,
If the voltage drop caused by the air conditioner starting is below 110 volts, the Sola Basic autoformer boosts almost immediately to ten volts higher than the low (i.e. 108 becomes 118 volts)--perhaps in 1/10 of a second and certainly within a second. Once the voltage recovers from the start up, the Sola "drops out" of the circuit.

Today from Progressive:
If the voltage falls below 104 Vac for more than 6 seconds, the EMS will disconnect.
My Comment: This is in effect monitoring of the connection for the entire 136 seconds. Power and connection must remain stable within specs for the entire delay timer or timer resets. I understand the effect is to have power off a minimum time for the air conditioner internal pressure to bleed down.
