Progressive Industries EMS HW50C

[Richard Hayden]

I agree Bill. Ernie's problem was most likely plug related. I have for years,
first on boats and now on the coach, check the plug yearly. Completely
dissemble the plug and check for damage ,i.e. over heating evidence, and tighten
the screws. I have noticed even without over heating damage the screws will
loosen over time. I believe it is called "cold flow". The copper wires
actually move a little due to the pressure of the screw clamp. I've also
noticed this in the main breaker panel, though not as dramatic as the plug.
Probably due to the stranded conductors as opposed to the solid conductors in
the main panel.

If your plug is warm, or even hot, to the touch it is time to check it out.
Especially these 30 amp cords that have a 50 amp plug at the coach. The park
connection should protect with a 30 amp breaker but I have noticed that you
can't depend on that for what ever reason. I once witnessed a power pedestal on
fire across from my boat. It had just caught fire. The reason was, you guessed
it, the boathouse's plug was defective - very loose screws.

FWIW

Hi all:
In an earlier post, Ernie had mentioned his problems with his electrical
system.
To us who read both forums, Wanderlodge and Wanderlodgeforum, have had a good
discussion regarding surge protection etc.
I had posted that I do not believe in Ernies case it was a surge, but
incorrectly wired, or poorly wired receptacle or plug.
Research by a number of forum members was conducted and was determined that a
device from Progressive Industries called the EMS HW50C would be the correct
thing to purchase.
This device is not just a Surge Protector, but an electrical management
system.
It checks voltage, frequency and L-N, L-L, L-G etc, giving one a lot more
protection.
Below you will find a link to Tweetys who will give the best price on this
unit at $270.00
