EMS HW 50C Install

[Pete Masterson]

I haven't gotten mine installed yet... but I notice that the
inverters (I have two) have a 'hum' to them that's noticeable when
it's very quiet.

Has anyone completed the surge protector install yet? If so, is it noisy? I
did and it is, about like a cheap fluorescent fixture. A couple of days ago I
called Progressive Industries tech support and was told to call Robert at his
cel number. I asked Robert if the unit was noisy as I was considering
installing it near my head in the bedroom. He said that it wasn't noisy at all.
Just wondering if others have experienced this or maybe I have a problem with
this unit.

I have not installed mine yet, but I am very interested in this
thread. If it is a 'hummer' then I will install it near the transfer
switch, if not, I would install it in the closet near the breaker
panel.

I did the install on the incoming shore power cable just prior to the
first transfer switch, in the outside compartment where my invertor
and transfer switches are located. I am only wired for shore power
on the EMS50C, not generator nor invertor. I installed this way due
to space and ease of install.

I have only tested on a step down to 110 volt 15 amp connection, not
30 Amp nor 50 Amp. I'll test that the 2nd week of April when I move
the coach.

As wired and on 15 amp connection, the surge protector does make the
noise you describe. It is virtually identical to the noise each of
the transfer switches make.

On very quiet nights when on electrical hookups, I occasionaly heard
the transfer switches "hum" in the past from inside the coach (the
power compartment is below the bedroom floor). We run a seperate
smart charger "truecharge 40" that is silent except when the cooling
fan cycles on, and we can hear that fan inside the coach also. We
normally have the invertor turned off (it also hums when energized).

I would not want the surge supressor inside the bedroom without a
sound deadening blanket or pad between the unit and the bed. Did you
install it in a cabinet in the bedroom? If so, do you have space for
a sound deadening pad in the cabinet the unit is installed in?

Gardner,

The AC load center on our old '81FC was in the clothes closet on the curb side.
I think I would have located the unit under the dinette seat and used a little
more wire if we still had that coach.

Pete,
We boondock so we don't leave the inverter on when we are sleeping, although, I
understand why you have to leave them on. This noise is similar but it is much
nearer to my head. I tried putting some foam under the unit but that didn't
help. I think that I would need a lot of space to completely isolate the unit
properly. Maybe its just something we will get used to.
