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?
Our 30 amp PI EMS is under a dinette seat. Never hear a thing from it. There's a number of things that can cause contactors to make noise and things you can do to fix or reduce the noise, but rather than try and monkey around with it, I also suggest calling Progressive Industries. They might just send you a whole new unit.
