BTW, I have a built in Progressive surge guard and it did not catch the open ground.
Progressive Industries doesn't make a "surge guard", rather Surge Guard is the product name for the TRC family of products offering surge protection. If you indeed have a Progressive Industries unit that is an entry level surge protector only, not an EMS, then of course it won't "catch the open ground" as it's not designed to. Current versions of entry level PI surge protectors do monitor for an open ground condition but don't have the ability to do anything about it, a Progressive EMS does by disconnecting power to the trailer anytime an error in the incoming source power is detected. If in fact you have a hard wire Progressive Industries EMS and it didn't disconnect when it detected an open ground condition then the unit failed and you should have contacted the company immediately to have the unit repaired or replaced. Lots of guessing here, so exactly what "surge guard" do you have? :@
