+1 Bum, the invertor shuts itself down, mine does, if it's overloaded, not like campground power that can spike.]]> Mon, 23 Jul 2018 15:49:20 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11945&PID=112793#112793 Generator/Surge Protector : Yes, if it's being loaded... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11945&PID=112789#112789 Author: TheBum

Yes, if it's being loaded down enough (e.g. the AC compressor kicking on and you're near capacity when it does). But an inverter won't spike nearly as badly as shore power when the voltage comes back up.]]> Mon, 23 Jul 2018 15:30:20 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11945&PID=112789#112789 Generator/Surge Protector : Is there a potential for "under"... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11945&PID=112787#112787 Author: mjlrpod

Is there a potential for "under" volts?? ]]> Mon, 23 Jul 2018 15:01:20 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11945&PID=112787#112787 Generator/Surge Protector : I don't really see a need.... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11945&PID=112778#112778 Author: TheBum

I don't really see a need. You're not getting voltage that has been stepped down from a higher voltage through a transformer like you have with shore power.]]> Mon, 23 Jul 2018 10:40:27 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11945&PID=112778#112778 Generator/Surge Protector : Is it recommended/suggested to... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11945&PID=112776#112776 Author: Podizzi

Is it recommended/suggested to use a surge protector when using a generator?  I never have in past but for some reason this crossed my mind.  Thanks!!!]]> Mon, 23 Jul 2018 10:00:09 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11945&PID=112776#112776
