Installed an EMS tonight

[Berdan]

I installed a Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C tonight. I installed the display above an outlet and ran the cable through the cutout through the wall to the main box. I still need to permanently mount the box but it is all wired up and works as it should.

Nice work! How long did it take you - roughly?

You're going to like the Progressive, mine saved me at least twice from lightning strikes

About 2 hours, mostly due to working in the cramped space with limited clearances. About 1/2 hour to determine where to put the display. Originally wanted to mount the display just above the command center panel but discovered there was a stud blocking access in the wall. I will likely screw the main box to the floor since I don't trust the wall (where the junction box is) to hold the box with typical shock and vibration.

Well done.
If you ever buy a 50 amp 5er, you will have wished it was a 30 amp.
If it's even cool outside that wire is thick. But so worth it.

After reading about fires caused by loosened connections in breaker panels I decided to mount the EMS to the wall so that I had easy access to inspect and tighten the electrical connections periodically.
