50A surge protectors
I see surge protectors for from $100 to $500 +. What makes one better than the other?
Forum Discussion
- The information they display, if they are a true EMS or just a surge protector, if they have blue-tooth capability so the read outs can be seen on your phone, and the level of protection...for example surge vs low voltage vs spikes. Some are pretty sophisticated, some are pretty simple.
- Search surge protectors and you will find many answers. Most seem to like the Progressive Industry units.
- What about surge protectors V something like Hughes autoformers
- be sure to get one that sets it's self not one you have to send in to get reset

A autoformer can be a good thing to have (I have one) but it will not take the place of a EMS.- The new Hughes blows the others right out of the water.

I see they have one now with surge protection but I'm not seeing where it protects from miswired pedestals, bad freq. and open neutrals.
Does it do that too?- I believe it does--but I do not own a Hughes. I do use an autoformer, and I check voltage under load as well as polarity before plugging in the class C.
Low voltage abounds at campgrounds, and does cause cumulative damage to electric motors, specifically the air conditioner. Autoformers fix low voltage instead of cutting the power off.
