Orv,
just as a reminder I had a 50A Surge Guard in use on my incident and once it fried power stayed applied to my unit! No breakers tripped until after I took the Surge Guard out of the hookup then breakers functioned as they should but not while the fried Surge Guard was still in the equation. Still doesn't make sense to me but those were the symptoms/observed behaviors.

EDIT - Maybe all 50 Amp Surge Guards are not the Same. The simple black plug into the post, plug your power cable into it was what I was using ($90 Camping world). The same company (TRC) makes more expensive versions which do secure power. My version just "monitors" the power.
