Surge Protector Scorched
Hi folks - hope this is the right forum for this?
I have a 30A surge protector. This weekend while it was in use the power company (not the campground) did a power failure. I started hearing arcing from the box and beeping from the rig so I went to turn everything off - but the cheap s*** Regional Park didn't have circuit breakers. When the power came back on and I left the next day, I found that one of the posts on my surge protector is all scorched looking.
Do I need to replace it? Or do I just sand off the scorching?
BTW,it did its job and none of the rig was damaged.
