Progressive Industries EMSLCHW30 Surge Protector Review

Had to put a bypass switch on the cover. It's a bit difficult to find a good seat due to the size, but I like it more than wired ones

Easy to install. It has an excellent display showing voltage/amps and error codes. Shut down a few times due to low voltage which saved my AC unit. Has already paid for itself.

We made a conscious decision to buy this unit because it prides itself on being made in the USA, videos showing how easy it is to install and the easy to read remote Display lets you see what's going on. This is a real bait and switch. Arrived assembled in Mexico, remote display not included.

I could hardly fit this powerful surge protector into the original converter box. To do this I had to cut out our part of the bottom.

Although there is a relatively simple solution to this problem (technical support directed me to watch a YouTube video about "Floating Ground" fixes), the user manual doesn't say anything about this problem. B. in the hardware store and at night, the company should warn its customers about this problem in the manual.

I installed it myself without any problems. It's not rocket science, but you have to be careful. The clues and markings on the inside of the case are enough to get everything in place, but they're not "for dummies". If you understand what this device does and how electricity works in your RV, there will be no problems. If you are new to connecting 120V AC appliances, consider having someone more experienced install it. I don't think this is mentioned anywhere in the description, but you can…

Camper: Palomino Yearling Y-4125 2008 MY INDUSTRIES EMSLCHW30 Surge Protector - The data display is a card that is in the box, not a separate one. This is not an outdoor unit that you just plug in and connect to the campsite shore power pole. There are a few things about this model that I liked more than other models: 1) Installed internally - cannot be accidentally left behind, cannot be easily stolen from shore power lines. 2) The display is in the box - no need to install data cables or…
