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 protects 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 though 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 includes
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.

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
Model 44400
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.

What Is Connected Equipment Coverage?
The connected equipment portion of the Southwire Surge Guard
warranty will cover the repair/replacement of property that was
damaged as a result of a warrantable failure of a Surge Guard
product. Since Surge Guard products provide different levels of
protection, what can qualify under this coverage will be dependent
