About Progressive Industries

Progressive Industries is a dedicated manufacturer of electrical protection solutions for the recreational vehicle market. Founded in 1998 by RV owners, the company is based in Apex, North Carolina and has built a reputation around one core mission: keeping RV electrical systems safe from the unpredictable power conditions found at campgrounds, marinas, and RV parks across the country.

Progressive Industries engineers and manufactures a range of high-quality electrical solutions designed for harsh environments. Their product lineup centers on two flagship technologies — the Smart Surge Protector (SSP) series and the full Electrical Management System (EMS) series — each engineered to detect and respond to dangerous power conditions before they reach your RV's appliances and electronics.

Electrical Management Systems: More Than Just a Surge Protector

Not all power protection is created equal. Progressive Industries EMS units guard against low voltage, high voltage, open neutral, open ground, reverse polarity, and AC frequency faults at the pedestal. Standard surge-only models block voltage spikes from lightning or grid switching, while the full EMS line shuts off power to your RV when any unsafe condition is detected and reconnects automatically once the fault clears.

Whether you prefer a portable solution or a hardwired installation, Progressive Industries has you covered. Their shorepower accessories — including adapters, connectors, and locking plugs — work seamlessly alongside their electronic surge protectors to create a complete shore power safety system. Each EMS unit includes a digital display that scrolls continuously through power source information: voltages, current, frequency, error code, and previous error code.

Built-In Diagnostics and Voltage Monitoring

Progressive Industries takes electrical awareness seriously beyond simple protection. Their EMS products double as battery and voltage testers, giving RV owners real-time insight into the health and status of their shore power connection. Their Smart Surge Protectors feature a built-in polarity tester and surge indicator, with the polarity tester checking the status of the power source prior to use.

UL-Certified and Backed by a Lifetime Warranty

Progressive Industries' surge protection equipment, adapters, and connectors are manufactured using state-of-the-art microprocessors in adherence to UL safety standards. That commitment to quality is backed by a lifetime warranty that reflects their confidence in the reliability and durability of their systems. Several design features across their product lines are patent-pending, underscoring their focus on innovation.

From first-time RV buyers to seasoned full-timers, Progressive Industries offers a tiered range of products to match every level of need and budget — making professional-grade electrical protection accessible to every RVer on the road.
