hard wire surge protector
Thinking of purchasing a hard wire surge protector question is how hard are they to install? Does anyone have a link to installation of one?

So are the portable ones better?
Either will do the job, but a hard wired unit is out of the elements and not a theft target hanging on or near a power pedestal. Progressive Industries products do have models with a bypass feature available. Hard wired model installation is easy, similar to wiring a 110v light switch or outlet, and as stated simply needs to be placed between your incoming power connection and the 110v circuit breaker panel. On my TT it was a breeze, disconnect the shore line cable from 110v house wiring, locate locate and mount EMS under the 'end table'/cord storage doghouse, connect shore line cable to 'line' side of EMS, purchased and installed a 3' length of 3 wire copper of sufficient gauge and connect one end to 'load' side of EMS, the other to the house wire junction box. Black to black, white to white, ground to ground. There, I did it! :B
