Surge Protector?
How many of you TCers use a portable surge protector between your AC source (house, RV park pedestal, generator) and your TC? Think it's necessary? Don't think it is?

Why?
Because the cheapo doesn't protect you from much.
Because the cheapo doesn't look for reversed polarity, or open ground, or bad neutral.
Because the cheapo doesn't disconnect on low voltage (imo 104 is too low, but that's another story).
Three strikes and the cheapo is *out*.
As I said earlier, I prefer an autoformer, since the "silent" damage is more often from low voltage.jimh425 wrote:Bumpyroad wrote:
you want a multi-function surge protector. $250 and up. not the $90 special.

Why?
I'd add that the cheapo does not have a delayed restart to protect the compressor.
