I would emphasize that not all "surge Protectors" are the same.
Cheaper ones will protect (up to a certain point) against lightning induced spikes, but that is about all.
On my 50 Amp trailer with two AC units I run a Progressive Industries EMS (Electrical Management System). Expensive; but not so much compared to the cost of a new AC unit or a replacement microwave, television, etc.
The P.I. EMS protects against:
High Voltage
Low Voltage
High Frequency
Low Frequency
Open Ground
Mis-wired pedestal
Lightning
Add to that a lifetime warranty (with excellent customer service) on a made-in-America unit, and it is well worth the price.
(The best price I found was on Amazon; shipped directly from P.I.)
