Surge protectors

I have a TT with a 50 amp cord. However I only have one AC. Do I buy a 30 amp surge protector or a 50 amp? I have no plans to add a second AC

Thanks

    50. doesn't matter how many AC's you have.

    What do you think the surge protector will do for the air conditioner?

    I would think you need a 50 AMP Protector. also the plug for a 50 amp is different that a 30 amp. I only have a 30 amp, but I will bet that the other side of the 50 AMP runs more than an AC.
