I was wondering if any one has noticed the owners manual for the EMS-HW30C, 30 amp progressive surge and voltage protector states to NOT plug it into an inverter?
I am wondering if this includes our inverter generators, true sine wave inverters etc.
Have any of you investigated this, or have you used the unit with an inverter?

Funny that you ask. I noticed this warning in my EMS-HW30C owner's manual, too. I called Progressive Industries directly to get the scoop. The individual who answered the phone identified himself as the "owner". He said they'd had problems with inverters (12 vdc to 110 vac type) seriously "interfering" with the EMS to the point of making them inop (asked him if it was a PSW or MSW inverter that was causing the issue, but he wasn't sure). Anyhow, he took my name down and said to go ahead and try my inverter generator with my EMS. If I had any problems he said he'd replace it. I hooked up my inverter generator to the EMS and it worked fine (with the bonding plug, of course). Not much of a technical explanation here, but it's my story and I'm stickin' to it :)
