I'm in a campground with very low power during the hot afternoon. Would an autoformer be worth the $350 or so purchase price? If it boost voltage only 1%, it doesn't seem of any value.
Any recommended make and model?
I've read that they need a surge protector between the autoformer and the power post, or the autoformer tends to self-destruct protecting the MH during a surge. I find that too many surge protectors at too long for many posts. I'd be interested in any solutions to that problem.
Also, CW sells an installation kit for building it into a bay. I don't have any bays or anyplace to attach it, so this expensive item is going to have to sit out by the post. Now to figure out how to lock it down. Will it overheat in a box? Maybe I could find a way to anchor a box to something.
