How Low is Too Low (Voltage)
Sometimes when we hook up to 30 amps,the AC volt drops to less than 110volts when we run the microwave. (I have a voltmeter plugged in near the MW) My question is,how low is too low before I have t...

108V is my minimum even though my surge protector doesn't shut power down until 104V
Just to enlighten folks that may not know, surge protectors do not provide any protection against continuous low or high voltage. Surge protectors only provide protection against momentary high voltage surge or spikes from lightening strikes or other momentary electrical anomalies.
Some surge protectors DO protect from low & high voltage conditions.
My portable 50A surge protector does.......shuts off power at 104V or 132V...auto resets, checks for open neutral, reversed polarity, mis-wiring.
Just depends on how much you which to spend...some don't shut down on voltage levels
