Replacement 30-Amp SmartPlug Connector After Melting and Recommended Surge Protection  

Question:

Hey Mark, glad to hear your EcoFlow system was protected but that's unfortunate about the plug.

Yes, we carry the replacement 30-amp SmartPlug Connector # SM47FR separately, so you won't need to replace your entire power cord or inlet section # SM87FR. Since the original connector melted, I'd recommend replacing it and having the RV inlet and wiring inspected for heat damage, even if everything looks good.

I'd also recommend the Hughes Power Watchdog Surge Protector # HU67FR or # HU42VR if you don't already have one. It plugs into the campground pedestal and protects against power surges, high/low voltage, and wiring faults. It also automatically disconnects power when it detects certain dangerous electrical conditions.

Keep in mind that it won't necessarily prevent a connector from overheating due to a loose connection.

Do you already use a surge protector at the pedestal, or was it an internal fuse or breaker that protected your EcoFlow system?
