50 amp to 30 amp & Surge Protector

I noticed a few places on my route only have 50amp service available... I bought a "dog-bone" (50 amp to 30 amp adapter) however, I was curious if my 30amp surge protector will still function properly? And does it then just connect into the adapter?

    50a to 30A adapter only has 1 hot leg, 1 ground and 1 neutral so 30A surge guard sees it as 30A power source and will provide same protection as if connected to 30A source.

    Yes, the dog-bone connects to the 50 amp connection, the 30 amp surge protector connects to the dog-bone. Then your TT power cable connects to the surge protector.
    You should be ready to go.
