For those sites with 50 amp only, can you plug in your 50A to 30A converter, then plug this 30A surge protector in without any issues?

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

i think 50 amp is 4 prong where as 30 amp is 3 prong.buy an adapter that converts 50a to 30a then plug in,then run your cord.

A 110v surge protector is not going to take 220v well. You need a 220v surge protector and if you use an adapter, you need to make sure you get one that connects the ground.

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.

Yes, you would need to use an adaptor to check a 30A receptacle. It's a regular 110/120 plug device.

I don't think it can hurt anything, but seems to be an useless adaptation. I have to guess you are short of AC outlets in the vicinity of your application. As the specifications clearly state, the outlet is 15 amps. As long as you don't exceed that, I can't see the harm. I have called Leviton in the past about other devices and their customer service is great. I suggest you call them and ask the experts. I also suggest you just skip this purchase and just buy a regular outlet and plug in your surge strip and/or UPS. I use this product for behind my wall mounted flat screens TVs so the that I have protection and the power cable doesn't show.

It does not need a surge protector and just plugs into a 110 volt electric socket. But overseas outlets may be different and require an adapter. Need to research wherever you are going to be.

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

I have mine plugged into a surge protector. Just my two cents. But I cannot see a reason why plugging this device into an extension cord would create any issues (other than ensuring polarity). Hope this helps...

If u have 30 amp Rv u should get the 30 surge protector50 amp will work with adapters

I don't believe you can use the 50 amp supply but you should contact the support staff at support@lanzar.com. They can give you a better answer why.

I am not sure. Normally you can not plug the device into the wrong voltage. That is why they make so many configurations. The surge part is normally for abnormal occur ancestors from the power company or lightening.

There is no reason that it cannot. Since installing this unit I have installed a whole house surge protector and both work fine.
312412
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.

Yes it can. You will need adapters for the 30 Amp connections though. This comes with 50amp connections on both the male and female end of the surge protector. If you had a 30 amp camper connection, you would need an adapter for 30 amps on each end of this. It is a very good surge protector though-- Well worth the money.

The male fits into the receptacle........ Not the female. But, yes it will work with any 30a outlet.

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 problem at all to go higher in amps. That just means your converter can provide more DC amps at a time to your various 12v DC appliances, and battery charging. No risk, since each circuit is protected by it's own fuse.You'll have higher cost, more weight, and no guarantee that it uses the same mount screw holes, though.
