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.

That would defeat the purpose of the design, to combine the power from both the 15 amp and 30 amp leads. You want both leads to be hot so that the combined ouput through the 50 amp female connector is fed up to 45 amps. The purpose is not to plug both male leads in, but have only one hot at a time.

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.

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

Yes. Ideally you would want a 50 amp circut, but you'll be just fine with a 220/30amp.

Yes, as long as you have the adapter plug for 50 amp to 30 amp it works. I have used it several times when I could only get 30 amp service at campsite.

No.Even if you would modify this unit to fit (NOT recommended) it would not protect anything because there would be no ground on the unit. And even if you modify your outlets, AGAIN, it would NOT protect the equipment because there is NO GROUND connected. Why not purchase a cheaper unit that just distributes electricity but does not protect from surges.

TakkyMonster 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.

I can tell you that they provide a 30 AMP fuse to protect the circuit. Hope that helps!

I would use this as it can do 50 amp.If you upgrade later you can still use this.You may get away with a 30 amp (PB30) but for a little more I would use this.

If your rv is 30 amp service, purchase a 30 amp protector, if 50 amp service, purchase 50 amp protector.

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

Yes, but only half your camper would be powered. Campers with 50amp plus is really 2 times 25amps with half the stuff connected to each. If you have 2 airs one will work. I have the plug above - only been able to use it a few rare times. Most parks that have a 30 and 15/20 the standard 15 has gfi - ground fault - that makes this plug useless. In places where you find 2 30's with in range - with an adaptor - this plug very useful.

I believe it would work, but I recommend moving up to the 30 amp control box to be safe

Not recommended. This is not a surge protector. It built for clearn electronic, and specifily build for each Hifi component such as pre amp, powered amp, dvd, TV, receiver etc. I recomend an addition monster cable power surge.Dan T

Your unit appears to be wired for 30 amp MAX service, correct? That being true, you should never use any device allowing more than 30 amps to pass through it. The wiring in your unit will break down and the result will be fire. Hope this gives you a better understanding of surge protectors and circuit breakers.

I used this with a 30 amp pigtail between the power stand and the suppressor. Then ran the main 50 amp cord to the suppressor. No problems.
