Surge Protectors?

I have never used one but I have been looking at them. This might be the year I get one. We keep trying new campgrounds and you never know.

I use one when plugged into an electric pedestal at a RV park. I consider mine insurance. Just like an insurance policy, if you never need it, you could view it as a waste. But if you ever need it, you'll be more than happy with the price you paid for the surge/low voltage protection.

The biggest problem is with low voltage. 50 amp is more of a problem because of the possibility of an open neutral.

Progressive Industries sells an energy management unit with a life time guaranty.

For myself, as I have a 30 amp service, I'll use an autoformer to control voltage.

Griz, there is a lot of info on these if you use the search function.
I only say that so you can get more info faster.

That being said, if you don't use it a surge protector is a waste of money ... on the other hand if you ever do need (use) it then it is worth every penny and then some. Protection is much cheaper than new electronics.
