I have a question. My rig came with a Surge Guard ATS, According to the specs/manual it is supposed to do the following:
Surge Guard* 50A – Model 40350-RVC
Automatic Transfer Switch
RVC Compatible with Full RV Power Protection
120/240V, 50A, 60 Hz
- Transfers to generator power automatically when energized after 30 second delay (generator mode). When both shore and generator power are available, generator dominates after a 30 second delay. Once generator shuts down, shore power activates after 3 second delay.
- Total electrical protection from faulty park power
- Provides protection against:
- Power surges
- Open ground
- Open neutral
- Low (<102V) and high (>132V) voltage
- Reverse polarity
- Miswired pedestal
- High and low frequency
- Multi-mode surge suppression
- RVC communications allows instant display of voltage, current, and fault conditions on an RVC compatible device
- Indicator lights on front of ATS indicate presence of input power for L1 and L2
- Optional remote power monitor LCD Display (Part number 40299 sold separately)
- Displays voltage and amp draw (RMS)
- Easy to navigate faults in plain English
- 65A, FLA mechanical interlocking contactors
- UL approved – UL1008 full transfer switch rating
- UL/CUL listed
Do I need/want extra surge/power protection? Like the PI
EMS-PT50X
They both seem to do the same thing?
Or...would a Hughes Autoformer, that seems to do the same thing plus gives you a boost in a low voltage situation be a better option?
Don't know but would like to.
