A 30-amp Power Watchdog can be a basic surge-monitoring unit or a model with automatic Emergency Power Off (EPO). There are also two generations: the original Bluetooth units and newer Bluetooth/Wi-Fi models. Those differences determine both the electrical protection features and the replacement surge module. Select by the exact model number on the unit.

How a surge warning differs from emergency shutoff
The basic PWD30 and PWD30W models can show incoming-power problems and monitor electrical use, but do not disconnect the RV automatically for sustained low or high voltage. EPO models disconnect the RV when their electrical fault conditions are met and ordinarily reconnect after a 90-second safe-power delay. An exhausted surge module is a separate condition: the maker identifies E9 on EPO and Gen II displays. Do not assume every fault requires a new module.
