The more expensive units will check for bad grounds, faults, over voltage under.

While in Texas it was so bad it did that 1 time but the second time I had to go unplug the surge protector, plug it back in and we were good.

I guess that it's encouraging that it does work!

I haven't taken the panel off yet, but I would have to remove a panel in the basement to install the permanent one, and there isn't a ton of working room in there. That's why the stand alone is appealing to me.

I believe that the unit that I'm looking into will do all of this, PLUS shutdown if something is wrong in the wiring in the unit, or the anaconda cable, which is a plus as well...
