Hopefully this is the right thread.
We have recently bought a new travel trailer and would like to install a hard-wired power surge protector. The brand we've settled on is a 30A Hughes Power Watchdog.
(30 Amp Bluetooth Surge Protector with Auto Shutoff - Hardwired - Hughes Autoformers - https://hughesautoformers.com/product/pwd30-epo-h/)
The Hughes unit does not come with a built-in bypass capability.
Has anyone made or does anyone know the best way to make a bypass capability?
I was thinking a simple bypass circuit as shown below. One half of a Leviton #1288 DPDT center off 30A switch would do it. The switch thrown would be bypass, center off would engage the surge unit. This switch is meant to switch two hot legs and I'm switching a neutral and a hot in this circuit.
Perhaps there's a better way?
