Southwire Surge Guard RV Power Protection

Your RV is at the Mercy of the Power Pedestal!

Poor power quality entering your RV can not only affect the longevity of your electronic equipment and motors, but can cost you thousands of dollars in repairs and create frustrating, unnecessary travel delays. Surge protection in and around the home is commonplace in today's world. Surges, however, are not the only dangers to your electronic equipment. The quality of power entering a home is generally consistent; however, the same can not be said for RV parks. Power quality in RV parks is subject to vast fluctuations and is dependent upon many factors. Intensity of electrical loads placed on an RV park, weather conditions, faulty wiring, and undersized or deteriorating electrical connections affect the quality of power entering your RV. With today's RV containing sophisticated and sensitive electronics, a few short seconds of faulty power can damage equipment within the coach, such as inverters, converters, microwaves, TV's, and refrigerators.

Surge Guard* Bumper to Bumper Power Protection

Southwire's Surge Guard family of power protection devices are designed to protect your RV's electrical system and sophisticated electronics from the dangers of faulty electrical power. A variety of Surge Guard products protect your RV from:

• High/Low voltage
• Miswired pedestals
• Open neutral
• Open ground
• Reverse polarity
• High neutral current
• Surges
• Overheating plug/receptacle

Surge Guard* RV Power Protection: Don't Plug In Without It!

Surge Guard power protection devices shut off power if the voltage drops below 102V or rises above 132V. Once the voltage resumes within these parameters, power is restored to the RV with a time delay to account for AC head pressure bleed off. Surge Guard devices monitor for faulty wiring from the power pedestal and protect from reverse polarity and the dangers of open neutral and ground conditions. Patent-pending thermal protective plug/receptacles will shut off when overheating, reducing the risks of fire and damaged wires and plugs. Multi-mode surge protection eliminates the potential for power surges to enter the RV through power cables during electrical storms, and indicates when surge failure has occurred. Surge Guard power protection is available in portable and hardwire configurations.

Surge Guard Automatic Transfer Switch Family

Surge Guard Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) also include RVC compatible devices. The ATS models transfer to generator power automatically when energized. When both shore power and generator power are available, generator dominates after a 30-second delay. Once the generator is shut down, shore power activates. Automatic Transfer Switch models are available with maximum spike current from 26,400A – 130,000A, and surge suppression from 2600 Joules – 3350 Joules. Some ATS models offer optional remote displays.

Surge Guard* Accessories

Surge Guard* Over-voltage Adapter

120V, 15A.

• Provides connected equipment with over-voltage and limited surge protection.
• Will turn off power to the connected equipment when a voltage above 140V is detected.
• Over-voltage conditions can occur from an open-neutral in outlet wiring or from switching heavy loads, such as an air-conditioner or washer and dryer, on and off.

Surge Guard* Generator Neutral-Ground Bonding Plug

Most portable generators have a floating neutral. Surge Guard* products will detect this as an open ground condition and not allow power to pass through. To solve this problem, insert the Surge Guard Generator Neutral-Ground Bonding Plug into a 15A receptacle on the generator control panel. This will create a neutral-to-ground bond and the open ground condition should be resolved. Please check the owner's manual of the generator to ensure the generator was designed with a floating neutral.
