can this surge guard be used on a 30 amp supply using an 50 amp adapter?

no. there is a voltage limiter on the unit, that turns on after a supply check is done. that is why they sell a 30 amp unit and a 50 amp unit. you can go from a 50 amp to a 30 amp supplt, but not visa versa. you can always adapt down, but not always up.

a surge protector works by shunting excessive voltage to ground..this unit clamping max voltage in surge mode 150v (for 120 usage) doesn't turn on until voltage rises 25 percent then it clamps for max 150 amps

I'm sorry I did not save the information. Looking on the internet I see it can be used with Panamax surge protectors. I was unable to locate the amperage.

No. Even with a plug adapter, the surge protector part is a problem. I have blown circuits and adapters this way. First, I blew the adapter in India. Then, I plugged it in at the airport lounge in the U.S. and killed that entire circuit. Guilty.

No... This is a Voltage compatibility: 120 VAC device. You might want to try the "kenable Individually Switched 6 Gang Surge Protected Mains Power Extension 2m (~6 feet)". This is rated at Voltage Rating V AC: 230V. Good luck.. cheers

I wish I could help. Here is the spec sheet on it and there is no information on the amp rating, just the surge protection. http://media.accobrandspartner.com/datasheets/datasheet2012.aspx?sku=K62634&language=us&country=us&sow=1&hrp=1&brandID=6

Takky Monster may have an international adapter surge Protector. This Monster product I purchased is designed for US 110vac home use. It has great features for this use.

Yea, I would assume. I used it to protect a PID controller. Standard outlets are 15a at 110/120v and you pick the fuse to go in it. 1a to 15a fuses... work fine for me

I don't think so, I use it as an adapter. I don't think it has the ability to be a proper surge protector. That is an opinion not a fact.

It is for a 50amp service rv ( 50 amp both ends) us it to hook a 50 amp rv to 50 amp service.if your rv is 30 amp use the 30 amp adapter dog bone

I was wondering this myself. Looking at the Panamax website it says it is meant to be used with the MFP-500-EX, which seems to be a 15A surge protector. I'd assume it can handle that much or a bit less. The other floor surge protectors they have are only 12A. If you want to be careful, don't push 12A.

No, this surge protector is designed to clip voltage spikes. It will not provide voltage regulation. I recommend, however, that you do not ignore the severe voltage swings as these high and low extremes could be detrimental to your electrical equipment

I'm looking at the Installation Instructions for the unit and see no reference to "peak surge current rating." It does say that it is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 50,000 rms symmetrical amperes. ??

That way is that I am using, the answer is yes. Remember not to overload maximum 30 amp least 115%

I made some search and find an article which might answer your question. I hope it helps! http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-surge-protector/

My best guess would beb that the 50amp version would not work for 30amp application. However, my 50amp works great have you considered the 30amp version for your RV? It should work just as great for you if you have a true 30 amp RV. I Have never tested the adapter with a 30 to fifty plug. We are parked where I could test That I have never tried it because of the built in set up delay start protector I don't think it will turn on. Would you like me to test it with a 30to50plug adapter on the 30amp circuit plug?

There is no reason that it cannot. Since installing this unit I have installed a whole house surge protector and both work fine.
