What is the difference between the HW50C 50 Amp Hardwired Electrical Management System and the EMSHW50C Surge Protector?

There is no difference. If you look at the Progressive web site, EMS-HW50C is the actual part number. Amazon has it incorrectly as HW50C.

The hard wired is permanently installed in your unit, whereas the other is plugged in as an extension cord would be.

EMS protects from surges, low current (which can fry your AC), shorts in CG electric services. The surge protector only protects from power surges. Hardwired EMS is the best way to go. It only allows power to your RV after analyzing the power source.

I believe these are the same product, but someone left off the EMS from the HW50C item name. Both have the EMS function; both are Hard Wired (HW); both are 50 amp, both have remote module (C); Both inherently are a surge protector. I have the EMS-HW50C and the product works great. I have found the remote module a lifesaver. In some campgrounds I have found it necessary to use the by-pass or "off" function on the remote module so the system doesn't repeatedly shut down you power during busy times for low voltage. In some campgrounds this can be really annoying.

there is no model HW50C. I think someone left the EMS part of the model number off wherever you saw that. EMS is electrical management system. HW is hardwired. I have this system and love it. It has saved me a few times in the first year.

The higher the AMP's & WATT's, the more power the surge protector can handle. I am a paranormal investigator & only need 3 small power cords hooked up so I didn't need the higher Amperage & Wattage. If you are plugging in a TV, computer, printer or other similar electronics, you may want to go with the higher #'s. Hope this helps. I am not an electrician but this is my understanding. Also, the 3 plugs are very close together so you may be forced to either just use 2 plugs at a time or buy a second surge protector. I lucked out, my 3 plugs are very narrow.

Yes the one I received had the surge protector. Only issue I had with it is I realized its an older model fence. About 3 yes old.

Robert, As a person who gave a review on the Tripp Lite HT10DBS Home Theater Isobar Surge Protector I could not agree more with your request for a 20 AMP version. My 2 15 AMP units are working perfectly but I have a need for a third 20 AMP unit.

Looking at the description, it says it's a surge protectory. However, I was only using it for the adaptor issues.

I was wondering this myself. Looking at the Panamax website it says it is meant to be used with the MFP-500-EX, which seems to be a 15A surge protector. I'd assume it can handle that much or a bit less. The other floor surge protectors they have are only 12A. If you want to be careful, don't push 12A.

From what I can see there specs are identical, one is a little smaller than the other. Here are links to there respective web pages.http://www.tripplite.com/sku/ULTRABLOKhttp://www.tripplite.com/surge-protector-isobar-2-outlets-direct-plug-in-1410-joule~ISOBLOK20/

I made some search and find an article which might answer your question. I hope it helps! http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-surge-protector/

I have not been able to discern any difference since installing this item. I hope that it is offering some EMF protection, but I can not attest to that.

3-prong. Doubt you will be able to find a surge protector that is not a 3-prong. Any "jury rigged" connection would be dangerous. Find a person at your local hardware store who is knowledgeable about electrical connectors.

The CP600LCD offers a higher joule rating protection. If you are worried about energy surge, go with the higher joule rating. I have the EC650LCD and it works great, but the CP600LCD offers better surge protection at the cost of slightly lower output. Also, the EC650LCD is a slightly smaller unit - check the size, weight difference of each.

If you are referring to the Belkin Surge UI certification, you can refer to this link: http://database.ul.com/cgi-bin/XYV/template/LISEXT/1FRAME/showpage.html?name=VZCA.E152555&ccnshorttitle;=Surge-protective+Devices&objid;=1080352928&cfgid;=1073741824&v;ersion=versionless&parent;_id=1078524288&s;equence=1 and search for the Surge Protector's model number.

The Progressive company site FAQs say the EMS series products are the maximum protection. They come in 50 and 30 amp. My opinion is to get the hard wired permanent unit. Your unit is not our for weather for theft. Also easier, just to plug in and not have extra stuff. My advice applies if you are going to keep your RV long enough to justify the cost.

Yes, you will still need to have a surge protector and you cannot incorporate one into the unit itself. Not with the way it is currently designed.
