Outside surge protection for Isata 3 Freedom Edition

My Freedom X/C Pro 3000 failed when it was not plugged into shore power... I was driving down the road when it started an E10 Error.... Internal Hardware Fault. I had a hardwired EMS installed anyway so grid surge did not cause the problem. More likely a component failure due ot manufacturing and Q/C.

A hardwired EMS is the first upgrade I make to every new coach I buy. It is cheap protection for fridges, A/C's, stoves, ovens and transfer switches.

The only E10 hardware error I've had with the X/C Pro is when I had a small table fan plugged in and sitting in the sink while driving, blowing air at the dog in the recliners. -)
I recovered by cycling power to the inverter.
Not sure if the fan caused it. It was not pulling a lot of power, and started up fine with the initial surge...no other load on the inverter.

An E10 is a Internal Hardware Fault. I installed a Freedom X/C Pro 3000 in my Super C and never saw an E10.

Xantrex had me do a hard reset, which included hitting the power button to discharge the capacitors. I did it a few times but it would not come back.

Xantrex says an E10 usually means the Inverter is toast.... and talking with Brian at Xantrex he indicated that have seen some E10 hard failures recently.

Wondering if you had the AC on when your E10 failure occurred.
I only had a small table fan on.
Note that we were both just "driving down the road" when the E10 triggered.
So the alternator was charging the batteries in both instances.
Batteries connected to the inverter.
What if the voltage regulator on the alternator has random spiking during accelleration?
Google "Alternator voltage spiking".
