EMS vs. Voltage Protector vs. Surge Protector
We have a 2002 HR with an in-house EMS. Is the EMS also known as a voltage regulator? That is, will it shut down my electrical system with too low or too high voltage? I'm aware it will prioritize sys...

There are several devices that your subject line can referene.
EMS= Energy Management System.. This system tries to keep you from tripping a 30 amp park breaker if you are on 30 amps.. Basically does nothing if you are on 50
EMS - Energy Monitoring System: This monitors incoming voltage (And current but that's for your info) and displays them, SHould voltage, and in some cases frequency or waveform, fall outside of a specified range, they shut you off to protect you from bad power. These will protect you from a power SURGE (long lasting over voltage) Brownout (Low voltage) and usually contain spike suppression.
Surge Guard: an RF surge guard is the same as an Energy monitoring System, However those outlet strips also sold as surge guards.. Are Spike suppressors. A true surge and they alert you (Sound like firecrackers going BANG on July 4).
Voltage Regulator: I think you mean Autoformer, This is a device which depending on the make and model attempts to protect you from Brownouts (low voltage) By boosting as needed.. Or in at least one case that as well as HIGH VOLTAGES by bucking the voltage a bit.
In your case.. You said "in-house EMS" Which leads me to suspect that it is the Energy Management System..
These systems display AMPS if you are on a 30 amp site and may display Volts as well, they will have indicators to indicate if you are on a 30 or 50 amp site and possibly a way to specify a 20 amp site.. They can control air conditioners and possibly the water heater cutting them off if you need power elsewhere.
Hope this helps.
