Review on ⚡ 30 Amp Hardwire Model Surge Guard 35530 by Mark Jefferson

buyer be careful because if you are connecting a Model 35530 Wired - 30Amp Surge Protector and intend to use a portable generator, you must follow the instructions below which I received from the Surge Protector as my device didn't work properly. . Except for this small problem, the device works as advertised. Portable generators are inherently portable and have a floating bottom. Our surge protectors see this missing ground and do not power the dwelling for a specific protection reason. The ground rod will not ground your equipment on your motorhome. Remember, this is an RV, not a house! To fool the surge protector, you need a neutral ground plug. I've included my tips doc that explains what's going on and how to assemble one of these forks. We also make these forks, they are model 44400 and are available from RV Parts Source 800-621-1271. I believe our surge protector will work as intended when used with a suitable shore power (residential) or portable generator with a grounding plug. has voltage protection. Our devices will see open ground when then used with a portable generator. This is because a portable generator naturally floats on the bottom. So in order to use one of our surge protectors, you must trick it with a "zero earth connector". We are in the process of producing one of these forks and it will be available in the near future. These connectors are pretty easy to make yourself though, and details can be found online if you google the neutral-to-ground connector. To make your own, purchase a spare 15-20 amp, 120 volt blank plug at your local hardware store. Open the cover to access the screw connections. Connect the neutral blade to the ground blade with a small piece of wire. Do not connect an electric knife to anything! Close the plug and plug into a 15-20A 120 volt outlet on your portable generator. Now you can go. I've attached a photo of a typical NG connector plug below. More detailed explanations and processing instructions can be found online. My descriptions above are intended more to explain what is going on and how to fix the situation and should not be used as a guide to crafting!
