I feel your pain man. The solution I came up with for surge protection is to use a whole house surge protector. There are different models depending on if you are using 3 phase or single phase. Here is an example:

Another option is to use tripplite Euro-50. It works with 50 and 60 Hz, but it only works for like 10 amps or something so you can probably get away with 2 miners for each unit:

As for amps, just use a clamp ammeter on the line. It is pretty consistent if you can keep your temps regulated and your miners clean.
