Good day everyone.  James from Canada with a “new to us” 2002, Nordic Tug
32.  I am wondering if anyone has experience with shore power EMS units
similar to those used for RV camping. I have a Progressive Industries unit
for our Mercedes Sprinter.

The unit has identified wiring faults at a few campsites which might have
saved us some issues.

The unit we have is not Marine rated otherwise I would use this EMS.  I
found a company  in the US, Bad Wolf, however they cannot ship to Canada,
and are not UL certified.

Any help or thoughts would be welcomed and appreciated.

Best regards,

James

Hi James,

Is an EMS the same as an ELCI? If so, I have one that was installed when our Nordic 40 was built in 2023 that you can have for the cost of shipping. I installed an isolation transformer, which makes the ELCI unnecessary.

Best Regards — Steve
