When Going from 30 Amp Power Source to 50 Amp RV What Power Amperage Circuit Protection is Needed
Question:
My 5th wheel is 50 amp and campground service is 30 amp . Which amperage surge protector should I purchase ????
asked by: Raymond S
Expert Reply:
You want circuit protection to protect your RV's wiring which is rated for 50 amp....so you'd want to go with 50 amp circuit protection. For that we have the part # CAM55306 which automatically resets or the part # CAM55313 which is more like a fuse and is internally damaged and needs to be replaced in the event of a surge.
To adapt this to a 30 amp power source you'd want the part # A10-3050FHVP and you'd be set.
