I have the Progressive HW50C. Just this last April in the Florida Panhandle during the 22 inches of rain and hours of thunder and lightning, I think it saved us once. Electric went off then surged back on and exceeded 132 volts, the Progressive shut the power off. When I read the error code it indicated excess voltage. No breakers tripped, all was well when the Progressive allowed power back through a couple of minutes later. Other campers indicated that they had breakers trip.
We camp at many older COE parks where the electric system is 40+ years old in some cases. In mid summer when it is above 90 degrees and the park is full of big rigs all with two AC's the voltage can drop past 104 volts. This can damage your compressors. Our Progressive shut us down once last year and we had to move to another area of the park that was on a different leg and fewer campers. Had 110 to 117 volts the rest of the time and the Progressive liked that.
Wouldn't leave home without my Progressive EMS.
