When to turn off surge guard on RV?
Surge Guard power protection devices shut off power if the voltage drops below 102V or rises above 132V. Once the voltage resumes within these parameters, power is restored to the RV with a time delay to account for AC head pressure bleed off.
When to use surge guard 50A generator mode?
Surge Guard*50A RVC Automatic Transfer Switch nTransfers to generator power automatically when energized after 30 second delay (generator mode).
