What is the amp rating of the surge protection?
1076103
This is a whole house surge protector. It does not draw current. It connects across both hot connectors that enter the house and to ground it's purpose is to send any spikes over 240 volts to ground and not through. The house. 120 volts on a single buss.

The documentation says: Suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering no more than 10,000 rms symmetrical amperes, 120 volts maximum when protected by a 20-ampere circuit breaker rated 120 volts minimum. The interrupting rating of the fuse or circuit breaker shall not be less than the available fault current.

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.

Amps are only used on demand. As long as your rv does not exceed a 30 amp draw you won't exceed 30 on the surge protector

It all depends on the amount of the surge, of course. 1500 joules is lots of protection. I like the Zunidigital product a lot and the price is great as well. I have about 8 of them on all my equipment. This rating, given in joules, tells you how much energy the surge protector can absorb before it fails. A higher number indicates greater protection. Look for a protector that is at least rated at 200 to 400 joules. For better protection, look for a rating of 600 joules or more.

This surge protector is warranted for life. The Underwriters Laboratories rating of this surge protector shows Maximum Energy Dissipation: 4320 Joules H-N: 3600 Joules H-G: 360 Joules N-G: 360 Joules Maximum Spike Current: 252,000A H-N: 196,000A H-G: 28,000A N-G: 28,000A UL Clamping Voltage (3-Line): UL 1449 400V Response Time: &lt;1 nanosecond (&lt; 1 billionth of a second) EMI/RMI Noise Filtration: 150kHz-100MHz up to 50 dB Reduction UL Listed to US and Canadian Safety Standards: UL 1449, UL 1363 The EFI/RMI components evaluated to the applicable requirements with UL 1283 NOTE: All UL information taken from retail product package. Warranty document references transient volltage device protection. I hope this information is what you need to make a purchase decision.

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.

I have it on my 200 amp service at my house. I'm afraid I don't have the technical knowledge to answer your question. I do know that this has saved my new appliances from frying in the last electrical storm.

Quite frankly, I am not really smart enough about surge watts and the like. I use my capacitor for a 230 volt 4 ton air conditioning condenser. So, I do not know if that relates what your situation is.

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

You are reading the description wrong. It states it circuit breaker protected, not surge protected. Circuit protected is basically if it is wattage overloaded the circuit breaker pop and you will have to reset it once the overload is removed. This unit is not a surge protector. Depending on your level of surge protection needed and you want an inexpensive surge protector you should look at the GE 14707 on Amazon. It sells for $9.99 Prime. It has 104 joules of surge protection.

I really cannot say, but would expect that if like my whole house surge protector or smaller surge protectors I use with computer hardware systems, I would think that the surge protrector would not know any difference in the incoming power from a straight 50A connection. The combination of the 30A and 15A leads are done prior to the lead feeding the 50A connection. My whole house surge protector is a 200A setup (actually 2 on a 400A service split top 2 panels), but does not have any problem when switched over to get power from my backup generator which is rated to run a 50A load.

Tripp Lite's website specs say: "UL1449 let through rating 400, 500, 500", so if my understanding of surge protector-related stuff is accurate, this little unit is probably not the best choice for sensitive and/or expensive electronics like computers, TVs, etc... I use mine for cordless phone charging bases and microwave ovens.

Honestly, I have NO idea... We had an auxiliary panel installed that runs through our breaker box. making sure that in power outages we have power for our sumps, furnace, fridge, freezer, microwave, overn etc and some interior lighting. We ran it from our portable generator for 25 minutes with great results and no heating to the cord. I don't know about the surge values you are asking, but we are pleased with the cord for the price and quality for our needs.

I do not know. I have a computer on mine. and the power surge protector underneath.
