Re: Surge protector EMS-LCHW30 installation?
You didn't mention what kind of RV you have. Progressive Industries has an excellent track record producing surge protectors. While there is a very slight chance that a generator will cause a large enough surge to damage your 120vac devices and the fact that you don't have a generator installed, although the unit seems to be wired for one. I would connect it to the output of the transfer switch. You should have 2 inputs to the transfer switch, one from non-existent generator and the other from shore power. The transfer switch is normally connected via the transfer switch to the shore power line. It requires power from a generator to actually switch. By wiring your surge suppressor to the output of the switch, it will cover your unit if you install a generator some time in the future..485Views1like0CommentsRe: Electrical assistance
You have been given some excellent advice. Nickthehunter did a good job of explaining general rv electrical systems. If the converter is humming, it only means it's being supplied with 120vac and may not be producing and 12vdc. I have had problems with units that have been stored for a while and had mice eat some of the wiring.. With the age of the unit, I suggest you check your grounds (usually chassis) connections. Bad grounds in the 12vdc system can cause some strange symptoms due to rust and corrosion. Make sure your 12vdc is all working first as many of your 120vac devices are controlled by 12vdc.727Views0likes0Comments
