Best Surge protector

I’ve had my TRC 30 AMP portable SG for over 9 seasons and one trip under the 10th. I too had to open mine up about 5 or 6 years ago when the plug melted from a bad CG outlet. It is not the easiest to get apart due to all the silicone they use but once opened up is serviceable. When the plug burned up I called to see if they offer reconditioning but they do not. Seems crazy they will not offer to make minor repairs to their units.

Last year I had the opportunity to buy a used TRC Voltage Regulator #10176 at a significantly reduced price ... great, until it arrived and I plugged it in only to discover as soon as I opened it up that it was fried. :M The transformer itself was fine but the main circuit board was badly melted so I contacted TRC asking for a price on a replacement. Guess what - no replacement, they wouldn't sell me one, saying my only recourse was to buy a new one. Yeah, right - ain't gonna happen, so I contacted the seller who graciously refunded my purchase price and apologized for the grief I went through. I also owned a TRC #34730 Surge Guard that worked fine but never again would I ever purchase any other TRC product knowing the company refuses to offer replacement parts for their products past the 1 yr warranty period.
