    ems surge protector

    If I sink the bucks into an electrical management system such as the ems pt50c will it work with an adapter in those cases when I have to use 30 amp service?

    Yes - have personal experience with it working on 30 amps. We were at an older campground with 30 amp service in mid August, hotter than .... Every air conditioner in the campground was running. The ems kept shutting down due to low voltage. Finally gave up and started the generator and ran the ACs from generator power until about 11pm.

    +1 / I've also used a dogbone to utilize 30amp service. It protected me last week from a 30a shorted pedestal.

    If you add a hughes autoformer in-line it will boost the voltage by 10%. If you do this and put the frig and hot water to gas it will help you run the AC. Also add an electric fan to move air around.
