Hughes Autoformers Surge Protector Model number: PWD50-EPO-H (50 amp - hardwired) - Hughes Autoformers Surge Protector Model number: PWD50-EPO-H (50 amp - hardwired)

Brand new unit, never installed. My 2020 Dutch Star already comes with a energy management system which includes a surge protector. Newmar did not approve of adding this unit during Factory Pickup. It’s currently priced in Amazon at $246.05 and I’m willing to sell it for $125.00. Picture in black and white to reduce file size.

I have used this Hughes Performance RV22050 Autoformer to prolong the life of my RV appliances. There are so many things that I like about this 30 amp autoformer: It can withstand rapid changes in moisture and heat inside the RV. It can manage up to 10% voltage boost, which is very good for our appliances inside the RV. Specially, it has LED indicator lights for convenient monitoring.

Just so we don’t get apples and oranges mixed up here, the unit offered is a surge suppressor, not a low-voltage boosting “autoformer.” The Hughes surge suppressor is a good unit (and the price on this one is VERY GOOD), but it does not boost voltage.

I had never heard of their surge protector before this post came up. Comparing the specs, it is very capable and very well priced.
 
Folks, this discussion should be in the forum below and not in response to a classifieds listing. Thank you.

 
Hughes autoformers does exactly what it says on the tin. The voltage at an RV park once dropped to 99V and sometimes didn't go above 105V. after I first plugged this in I saw that it had a loose connection within the socket connector and also the voltage was already ramping up. The voltage before plugging within the amp was 103V but went up to 117V and 113V with the AC on. My air con motors are much happier in this manner.
