Surge protector

The campground where I am hosting right now has a power problem - Open Ground occasionally. Typically when the wind blows or it is raining and the wind blows. After numerous complaints to the ranger in charge and his sending their electrician to verify the campground electrical system wasn't the problem, he was told by the power company the problem was "right of way over growth". In another words the power company isn't providing adequate maintenance to their distribution lines. If I was in a private residence I wouldn't stand for that from the power company and would file a formal complaint if necessary, but since I am hosting I have done all I can do except notify the ranger each time my PT50X shuts me off and why. When they get tired of my complaining they can get tough with the power company or ask me to leave. I'm OK with leaving since my rig is the one in potential danger. The minute I EVER see an open neutral I will unplug and leave immediately.

I think the ems saw a low voltage situation and shut the power down.

As long as the post breaker did flip, the PI should restore power on it’s own once voltage goes back to the acceptable range, correct?

I’ve had instances at my seasonal site where when I arrive I notice my microwave clock had reset, so I know that at some point during the week I lost power. When I check the EMS, I’ve noticed low voltage errors were logged. Power restored automatically when voltage recovered to a safe level.
