Surge Guard 34560 Trips at night
Ok here is a strange one. I have a Surge Guard model 34560, its the hardwired 50 amp model. Been working fine for over a year. 3 nights ago the thing starts tripping when my front air conditioner comes on. Next night it started tripping when either one comes on. I replaced my breaker at the pedestal, cleaned all contacts. Then measured voltage. I got 121 volts inside the pedestal, 121 volts in the receptacle, 121 volts on both sides of the surge guard and finally 121 volts at all the outlets in the motor home.
I checked the surge guard site and got their troubleshooting paperwork. My voltage is within their range of 102 to 132 volts.
Here is the real kicker. This only happens at night after the sun goes down! Very strange. I am in Florida and I run both my AC's all day with no issues. Anyone every have this happen? Thanks,
