One 110 outlet reading low
Since arriving at a new park, I've been having electric issues - suspected low voltage. Maintenance came and metered at pedistal. 120v. My Surgeguard has knocked me off a few times. 50amp by the way....

Measure the voltage at the mwave breaker. If its low there, go,further, if it's fine, replace the outlet.

You should measure with the mwave running.
Find an electrical person to help you if need be.
Call me if you want. Might be able to give you some tips over the phone.
Where are you located? I'm in SW NM for the winter.
I might be able to help you if we are close.
I understand this recommendation based on the low-voltage at the outlet, but can someone explain how "My Surgeguard has knocked me off a few times" fits into the equation.
Not trying to 2nd quess any electrical advise (lord knows I ain't no expert---have enough trouble with OHM's Law), just wondering how a down stream problem would trip the surgeguard?
Can/does the surgeguard "sense" a problem down stream of the device? I thought it only "read" incoming? Can the DRAW on a single circuit, reduce the current to the entire unit without tripping that circuit's breaker?
Two seperate problems??
