Hello,
So, we were at my brothers house and didn't have an ideal situation for plugging into power (long story) so we plugged into what he said was a 20 amp dedicated outlet that was intended for an electric fireplace (not yet installed)
We had the Progressive industries SSP 30XL portable 30 amp smart surge on our end. The lights showed Green & Red - which indicated "reversed polarity"
To make matters worse, we (stupid I know...) turned our A/C on because it was HOT; it ran for a little bit and popped a breaker on their house, so we didn't run it again (hoping we didn't damage the unit?)
Can anyone tell me what exactly that reversed polarity meant, AND, is there any chance we damaged our A/C unit?
I'll apologize in advance by requesting you "dumb your answer down as much as possible so I can understand the answer"
Thanks!!
