Surge Protector
You can rely on an RV surge protector to handle the critical issue of surge protection in a recreation vehicle. Every RV’s electrical appliances and circuit boards are at threat as brown outs and other park power fluctuations are common occurrences which can wipe out your electronics.
Like electronic equipment in your home, a recreational vehicle’s electrical system is very sensitive. When utilizing the power supply at an RV park, and with so many other vehicles in the area with high-end electronics and power consumption there is almost a guarantee that one day this will happen to you.
A brown out will disrupt all your electronic equipment and could even cause damage to the point of making your equipment completely inoperable. The only way to truly protect against this is through the over and under protection of a solid surge protector.
Whether you experience a dip (current levels dip below 110 volts) or a surge (over 132 volts) one of these units will automatically shut off the power supply. The indicator light will alert you to problems such as a mal-wired pedestal, reverse polarity and elevated ground voltage. This is useful to protect your air conditioner compressor.
The most commonly used amperage is either the thirty or the fifty amp RV surge protectors sustaining up to 1050 Joules with a max spike current up to 6500A. These types of devices easily handle most of your needs and prevent the unfortunate necessity of having to replace expensive equipment.
Typically a good protector will run you around two to three hundred dollars. When you compare that to the expense of having to replace a microwave or other appliance several times a year due to an excessive or underage amount of electrical current it easily adds up to a good deal.
In the end, one of the best selling points for a quality RV surge protector is that you will have peace of mind on the road that your equipment will not be damaged. With that one device protecting your equipment you will be able to relax and enjoy your journey on the open road.
