Southwire Surge Guard (portable LCD) error code NEUTRIP WAS xxA
High neutral current trip (50A models 34950 / 34951 only - the spec tables list High Neutral Current Trip as N/A on the 30A models and 130% on the 50A models). The LCD table defines the message as Current > 130%; 'WAS xxA' records the current (example 'NEUTRIP WAS 65A'). The manuals do not name the reference current; 65 A is 130% of the 50A rating (derived, not stated by Southwire).
