SoundGuy...Interesting post about the Surge Guard brand. I was debating about that one, but seems that most on this forum think that Progressive's is better made. I do notice that Progressive shuts off power at low voltage below 104, but Surge Guard goes down to 102. Also Progressive unit states to always use it in the upright position. This may make it impossible to use with an extension cord like you mention. I have had occasional problems with slightly recessed receptacles at campground posts.
Camping World has Surge Guard on sale right now and told me that they sell a $40 (or so) one time replacement warranty (presumably for the life of the unit). That sounded pretty good to me.

The OP is talking about the male input plug, not the female output receptacle which on an EMS-PT30C is a chassis mount, not a cable mount.

And I was referring to the pedestal female plug which could be part of the problem.

Two Vice-Grips. Grabbed the prong base with the needle nose, and SLIGHTLY tweaked the conductors with the standard pair. By slight, I mean some folks may not have the "touch". The "fix" is a twist and not a spread of the prongs.

Anyway, I suppose this could have caused the EMS plug to get damaged over time.
I'll look into changing just the plug on the EMS.....or I'll decide to buy a new unit.
