50A surge protectors

I see surge protectors for from $100 to $500 +. What makes one better than the other?

  • EMS-HW50C
    Not just a surge protector. Will protect you from high/low voltage, wrong wiring and most of all for a 50 amp RV Open Neutral.
  • be sure to get one that sets it's self not one you have to send in to get reset
  • Search surge protectors and you will find many answers. Most seem to like the Progressive Industry units.
  • 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.
