Surge protectors

Nonsense ... I'm not "suggesting" anything, I merely pointed out that the statement one "cannot hard wire a 30 amp protector in a TT with 50 amp service" is TECHNICALLY incorrect. How this rig may be used subsequently, whether another A/C may be added later is another issue, just as it would if a portable 30 amp EMS was being used and the owner wanted to run dual A/Cs. Regardless, the point is moot as the OP has already said he's chosen to install a 50 amp hard wire EMS. NO confusion here whatsoever.

No one said you were confused, but I do believe you're failing to take full responsibility for your post.

For those of us who have a good working knowledge of things electrical, yes we understand the "loophole" context of your point, claim, statement---whatever you want to call it.

However, I believe your post came up short for those folks who do not have a good working knowledge of things electrical and do not understand the "loophole" context of the point you're trying to make. I honestly doubt any reputable electrician would ever attempt to hardwire a 30 amp surge/EMS inside a TT with 50 amp service. Can it be done, yes. But, what's the point, outside of proving that something unsafe . . . can work in an unsafe manner.

Based on your statement, "How a rig may be used subsequently . . . is another issue", you seem to imply that safety is secondary to your primary goal of finding a loophole to debate--and win.

Interesting set of priorities to say the least.
