Correct me if I am wrong, but on a 30 amp circuit, you have a HOT and a NEUTRAL. If the NEUTRAL loses connection (which is what happened to fry his stuff) you have NO CONNECTION.

Fortunately I had installed a PI full power protector and it disconnected the rig power and no harm. The voltage was displayed on the remote and I could not pull the plug fast enough.
