EMS--Energy-Electrical MANAGEMENT System.
This is NOT a voltage/surge protector It monitors Shore Power and Genset power supply and shuts down certain loads automatically ordoes NOT allow some loads to power up if the Supply system is not adequate.
These are built in to the unit and not added
A Surge protector is what you want. Depending on how much protection you want depends on how much you want to spend. Inexpensive protectors do not do the job. Doug
YES and NO
EMS in MHs are like you describe......load management devices
BUT in 'marketing parlance' there are EMS/Surge Protectors
They don't shed load but do monitor/shut down power
It's like the marketing of Jake Brake
Jacob Engine brake...also is an Exhaust Brake
EMS is becoming 'generic' term for Power protection/Management
Progressive markets their 'protectors' (portable and hardwired) as EMS
yet they do NOT 'manage' load per se. They test/monitor/trip...protection
So when folks talk about EMS it can be a Surge Protection vs Energy Management
