Trust your Surge Guard.......
CG 'electrician' might know just enough to be dangerous
No other sites.....power pedestal questionable due to Surge Guard protection.
Ask for refund and find another CG
Unless you KNOW for sure that YOUR Surge Guard is broken then do NOT bypass it and plug in rig..$$$$ if Surge Guard right
Feeling lucky---punk :B
Can't leave.....RUN Generator as much as needed
Personally I test any questionable power pedestal myself
50A Receptacle
L1 to Ground........120V AC
L1 to Neutral.......120V AC
L2 to Ground........120V AC
L2 to Neutral.......120V AC
L1 to L2------------240V AC
Ground to Neutral....0V AC (ZERO)
No 120V AC when testing L1 (L2) to Ground.
Leave probe in Ground and place probe for 'Hot' into Neutral.
Read 120V AC-----Reversed Polarity (Ground/Hot mis-wired)
Big difference in readings.....HOTS to Neutral AND HOTS to Ground---short to ground
Which do you want to trust..... CG 'electrician', Surge Guard/Yourself??
