Does it handle surges, spikes, low voltage and/or incorrect wiring?

Have not had the opportunity to use it yet. It is designed to protect against surges in power and is supposed to protect against faulty wiring.

Hi Brad, this is a very simple type of protector; shuts off the power when ground faults are present. It offers offers 510 Joules of surge protection and will shut off the power at the pedestal when power is too high or low. Requires manual reset after a ground fault. I'm not sure if it will cut off power (you shouldn't be able to reset the protector) if the poles are improperly wired. I think it is a very inexpensive protection for 30 AMP service RVs. Tom

Nope, I've never had a problem with mine. Did you lose power by any chance? Maybe the surge blew. Try unplugging it and plugging it back into a different outlet.

No, this device will only protect against spikes in power usually caused by lightning. To "clean up" inferior power from your power company, such as high and low line voltage, you can get POWER LINE CONDITIONERS that can regulate power up and down and protect against spikes. See

mine does fine on 15Amp breaker - there is a surge when you start first, but when it runs it runs - no problem

Hmm That does sound like a serious issue! I cannot say that I have had that problem yet and I have 8 units installed in my house. It sounds to me like the unit is placed on a circuit that is beyond the recommended load which can easily happen. In other words, this issue sounds like people are using the units on circuits that were already poorly wired. Just my thoughts.

Yes and No. If the surge is large enough, it will need to be replaced. Smaller surges will leave it operating. There is an LED that lets you know it is OK (and to replace it if it's not lit). Mine has lasted through the Fall and Spring thunderstorm seasons and is still working.

I wish I could answer this question. Since there are many combinations of ports and settings on my equipment, I found myself plugging in and unplugging the wire several times. and before I was able to find the right combination I broke off one of the golden tines on the plug. Probably operator error rather than faulty plug, but sad, never the less.

I have not had good luck with it. I got it for use in a rv project where wires were in a bundle. It was almost impossible to get it down to one wire,witch is why I got it. Was good for a fault checker

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. ??

I have not experienced a surge while using it so far. I think in case of a surge it will cut power off automatically to protect the appliances connected to it. To reset, press the button on the side of one end of the power strip.

No it does not. It will only tell you what the actual voltage is with the voltage drop of all things plugged into it. It will prevent from any spike damage not regulate. I usually plug into another source if it drops below 108v. Hope this helps.

Since there is no current rating I'm guessing it will reliably handle a MAXIMUM of switching 2 amps. Making it handle any more will destroy it after a not-so-many uses. Use this switch to operate a relay that actually powers the load. Same for your chosen relay: Make SURE you know it can reliably switch the load. The claimed amp rating IS NOT THE CONTINUOS LOAD IT CAN HANDLE. IT'S ACTUAALLY FAR LESS THAN THAT !

No. Surges and Spikes only. You'll need a battery backup unit to condition your power if you want to guard against brown outs.

Not sure where you saw that. Surge watts 10,000 Rated would be less. Somewhere around 8500

Very simple.....the included hardware was more than sufficient, I used low voltage wire and everything worked very well, my electrician helped me of course.

YES. Will work with low or high voltage 2 wire t stats. Real simple to install and program.

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&langua;ge=us&country;=us&sow;=1&hrp;=1&brandID;=6
