Not sure this will help you (don't think you can bypass your unit). You may not want to use the surge protector with the generator supplying the RV
My communication with a progressive:
I just installed a EMS-HW50C in our fifth wheel. I took the line in from the breaker panel made it the line input to the HW50C. I installed a new piece of 3 conductor, with ground, 6 gauge cable (rated at 55 amps) from the HW50C to the breaker panel. I installed the remote indicator next to the AC controls. I left the time delay at the factory setting – ran the AC and it ran with no issues.
My question - A couple times a year we take our 4000 watt Yamaha portable generator with us to the race track. Will there be “ground issues” when the generator is powering the RV? If so is there an easy solution.
Their answer:
Just put the unit in by-pass, or tie the ground and neutral wires together.
