EMS 50C

[Leroy Eckert]

Yep, I agree with you, Gardner, Richard and Ralph. Ralph's old school analysis
is exactly how I think when it comes to the Genset (I rely on it) and the
Portable Surge Protector with one exception. ATS coach owners do have the
opportunity to check power before they plug in the cord. All you need to do is
read the codes. If it is showing E-0 all is well. Plug it in. In an effort to
prevent a dead TV, I use an additional surge strips on those and other
electronic devises, and as Ralph stated may not be a cure all.
Last Summer lightning got my 56" wide screen power supply at home which was
plugged into an independent constant voltage transformer and surge protector. 4
other unprotected TV's in the home were not damaged. Naturally, the really
expensive protected one took the hit. I think it got to it faster than a nano
second.
I know enough about electricity to know that I do not know enough also, but I'm
gaining on it.
Choices, choices, isn't this fun?

Leroy, The majorsell for me on a portable unit is 1- stopping the
slectrical powersurge outside of the coach 2- protecting the 50 amp
BB powerchord from passing and being compramised by a surge or
overmax draw 3-allowing visiting guests to use protected power at my
home after I move my bus from its perch. Hard wire protection
(vesectamony) may be the best because you never worry about hooking
up the protection. Hardwire is trick and typical of Bluebird
convienence. Hard wire provides twice the protection (gen/shore).

The passion within this thread is driven by the comforting egarness
of forum members wish to help members.For now I dont use SPotection,.

others complain about or the potential of compromising factory
wiring. If a power surge takes it out, I'll pull it out of the
pedestal, and repair it or replace it. The less maintenance I have to
perform inside the bus, the better I personally like it.

for one reason only. To protect against irregular park power, nothing

for defects or tell me when my transfer switch is taking a &^%$. I do
that. Of course, I cannot see the connections at the transfer switch.

an instrument to do it for me. That is all I am saying. I have been
using the Portable for 2 years(about) and everything is fine.
