Can 50 Amp Power Watchdog Surge Protector be Used with 30 Amp Power Source
Updated 10/27/2025 | Published 03/10/2025
Question:
The 50amp hardwired Gen 2 version, can I use a convertor plug at the pedestal from 30A to 50A? Will the unit recognize 30A power and still work correctly? Simple plug and play with both 30A and 50A service? I have a 50A fifth wheel but will be visiting parks with only 30A service. Thanks.

Hey Marc, how did the Power Watchdog work when you connected it to 30-amp service at the park? Your experience could help others who switch between 30- and 50-amp hookups.
