Progressive Industries EMS HW50C

[Richard Hayden]

Right Ernie. I was probably thinking of the boat male end. It would not be
possible to check the molded male end as I described. However, I believe that
it is crimped on not screwed inside.

My plug was the original molded plug from the factory. Couldn't take it apart-
doesn't matter, now- going to get new stuff soon.

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
