I have a class A with a 50A Hardwire Surge Guard. It does all sorts of line checks before applying power. How will it respond to this "Y" adapter??

Should work fine you still have 45-50 amps with the " y" adapter you will only have 30 amps with out it

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.

If you don't have GFI beaker in line it should work just fine, their is another plug that has two 30 AMP plugs I run that off of shore power if I am not using my generator. It's about $45 on Amzon

I am unsure, but I would expect it to work. I just know that if you try to use it for anything except RV it will not work. It says on the pkg that it is not for regular electrical applications. I tried to hook a cloths dryer to RV pedestal just as an experiment and it does not work.

I bought it to run 50 amps off of a generator and had to change the GFI 110 outlet and now it works great,

I know this won't be helpful, but if it monitors power usage and finds nothing is in use, maybe it does. Even when it's plugged in the surge protector uses power. Unplug everything and see if it powers down.

it is a surge protector - and will protect you from a bad 'spike'. but for sensitive equipment that requires line conditioning, you might want to get something more advanced. this is a heavy duty outlet strip with a circuit breaker.

IF the Red light comes on when you FIRST plug it in...your house wiring ground is OK IF the light goes OUT after a time, you have taken a surge big enough that it has FAILED, and you will need to replace it. FYI-When I lived and worked in Pinellas County Florida (Lightning capital of the USA), I would have one or two of these fail every year. In the 5 years since I retired and have been back in WPA. All are still going strong. (I have 8 new spares still.) I am amazed, because West Penn Power doesn't have half the system lightning protection as in Florida, AND the protection I can BUY through them for my service entrance is a joke at best. I bought $400 worth of Motorola protection for my service entrance. Well woth it, as I am high up (2,400 ft) have lightning rods on the house, and have surges come in on my power lines from time to time during thunderstorms. Being 6.8 miles from the sub station that feeds us, causes most of these problems, as that's a LOT of antenna wire for a lightning hit. These Tripp Lite cube's are CHEAP & good. All my discrete electronics have one per unit. You can NOT plug a strip line with 6 or more outlets into it. It's only rated at 15 amps, draw more than that & you WILL kill the cube real fast!

Yes, it works on different circuits, but please be aware, and this may of been an isolated issue with my units, but they fried everything I connected them to (a desktop PC, a network switch and a security camera DVR). I had my power checked and all is well with my power in my house.

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

Just follow manufacturer's recommendation or try to plug through a surge protector and see if there's any difference. Please post the results.

A surge can be from lightning or from line voltage, this unit is designed to catch the surge before it enters your house wiring and damage sensitive equipment. So yes it will do the job you want.

Same answer as Joan. I asked the manufacturer that question and they asked me to call their 800 line so they could help me get one. The risk of using a generic adapter is that if the amperage isn't correct you can burn out the unit.

I had the same issue with the unit i installed. I looked closer at the specs and realized it is a dc 12 volt unit. If you are using an ac transformer, it will not function correct.

Could be a number of things. You could have damaged the adaptor port with the different plug causing a bad connection. Blown a circuit or fuse. If the power adaptor you used was a lower voltage, you may have done nothing, a higher voltage may have damaged the electronics. A volt meter to check the adaptor voltage and to check the circuit would be a good place to start. Check to make sure you didn't damage the port and try the correct adaptor again. Good luck.

The breaker is doing what it is supposed to do. That is good. It is protecting your purchase .... and yourself from a meltdown. The breaker capacity needs to be compatible with your unit specifications ..... and your wiring needs to be compatible with both. The unit will do what it is supposed to if you follow those steps. Titan will assist you with these types of questions ..... Why not trust the source ..... They don´t bite ! Bill

I have been fortunate enough not to have the surge protector do it's intended job. I just looked at the unit and noticed that it does not have a reset, test like a ground fault circuit interrupter. I have a hunch that if the alarm is triggered un-plugging and re-plugging the unit will reset it. The device is cheap enough to protect your expensive appliances, I would have no problem buying another one if there was a problem with the actual device.Hope this helps.JerryO

I checked the label on the power unit and it reads:AC/DC adaptorClass 2 power supplyModel: YL35-060080DInput: 120V AC 60Hz 2.5 WOutput: 6V DC 80mAWonder if you Google to help you find a replacement.Hey...I'd send you mine, but I use it too often. :)Renee

Tell him you need a NEMA 6-50A outlet installed on a new 40-amp 240 volt circuit. Or just a new 40-amp 240 volt circuit if you want to hardwire the station.

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.

It will work as long as the entire circuit is behind the surge protector, which it would be for a WHSP. In terms of best performance, you'd like both adapters on the same leg of a power circuit (no circuit breakers in between).
