Soundguy,
A question you may be able to help with. I recently installed a Progressive surge protector like the one you have pictured. Put it in the cord bin under the dinette seat. My issue is the Humming noise the contactor makes while powered up. Tried sound proofing the compartment and it helps. Is the "hum " normal, and any thoughts for quieting it down with out restricting cooling air flow?
Interesting question I wish I could help with but I can honestly say mine makes a barely detectable sound which has never been noticeable at all. The best I could suggest is to give Progressive a call and ask if they'd swap yours out for another one OR send you a new contactor.
