  As we observe National Fire Prevention Week from October 6 th to the 12th, it’s crucial to highlight one often-overlooked source of fire hazards: shore power connections for RVs and boats . Every year, thousands of fires are caused by faulty or outdated electrical systems, including shore power failures at campsites and marinas. At SmartPlug , we’re committed to enhancing the safety of shore power technology, reducing the risk of fires, and protecting lives and property. The Importance of Shore Power Safety Shore power systems, while convenient, have their risks. Electrical connections in RVs and boats are prone to corrosion, overheating, and even fires due to outdated technology. Traditional twist-lock connectors, the industry standard for decades, are particularly susceptible to these issues. As these connections age, they often lose their secure fit, creating resistance points that lead to excessive heat generation and, ultimately, fires. In recent ye...

  At SmartPlug, we believe that innovation should not only enhance safety and convenience but also contribute positively to the environment. Our shore power systems are designed to do just that—provide a superior connection that benefits both boat owners and the environment. In this blog, we explore how using a high-quality shore power connection like SmartPlug can help reduce your environmental footprint while docked at the marina. Why Your Shore Power Connection Matters Traditional twist-type shore power connectors have been a standard for decades, but their design presents several issues that can impact both safety and the environment. These connectors are prone to corrosion and can easily loosen over time, leading to poor conductivity, energy waste, and even the risk of overheating and electrical fires. SmartPlug’s innovative design addresses these problems by providing a secure, weatherproof connection that maximizes efficiency and minimizes hazar...

  As summer temperatures rise, it’s important to keep your RV “cool” and protected from overheating. This can be a challenge, especially if you’re relying on outdated shore power systems. But with SmartPlug technology, you’re better equipped for safe RV adventures. Our RV products are specially designed to keep your vehicle safe from overheating, while also providing a more secure and efficient connection to the power source. Here are some of the top features that make SmartPlug a must-have for any RV owner: Improved Electrical Capacity: Unlike traditional twist-type RV plugs that can easily become loose from the campground outlet and cause overheating, our products utilize a multi-point locking system to ensure a secure and reliable connection. This increased electrical capacity helps to reduce corrosion which damages both your connector and the AC inlet. Over time, this damage makes your RV susceptible to an electrical fire. Weather Resistant Design: Our pro...

  As summer draws near, many boaters are planning overnight cruises. To sleep comfortably, they’ll rely on factory installed or portable air conditioners. These appliances, however, can put tremendous electrical loads on outdated, twist-type shore power electrical connections, leaving owners wide-eyed awake wondering if their older plug is going to overheat. Using the revolutionary SmartPlug not only greatly improves onboard safety, but allows cruisers the worry-free rest they need. The amperage draw of an air conditioner can be substantial. Whether the power is 30 or 50 amp service, as the unit cycles off and on, sharp peak loads are generated.  This is on top of other appliances, lighting, pumps, toilets and all the other sundry items plugged in throughout the boat. Traditional shore power plugs have thin blades with just enough metal touching to make an electrical connection. Age-related corrosion reduces this contact further. This causes resistance, resulting ...

 Stray AC current leaking into the water from faulty marina or boat wiring can be lethal if someone falls in from a dock or deck. Avoiding such a tragedy is simple with the addition of a SmartPlug ELCI (equipment leakage circuit interrupter). Similar to a residential ground fault circuit interrupter, it instantly trips the breaker if a problem is detected to stop all electrical flow. A two-piece system, the SmartPlug ELCI Kit is comprised of a sensor and a 30A or 50A Breaker. The combination meets ABYC E-11 standards for ground fault protection and shore power circuit interruption. Both units have a UV-resistant enclosure housed in SmartPlug’s uniquely-designed but standard-size stainless steel or white non-metallic inlet. Completely automatic upon power-up, the SmartPlug ELCI element is UL-943 listed, has power and fault status indicators, and test and reset buttons. The rocker switch breaker is UL-489 listed with a trip level of <30mA (27mA nominal) at a tr...

The SmartPlug is an easy switch for OEMs to make. Available in 30A and 50A models, hole patterns match industry standards, so there’s no cha...

  SmartPlug Systems, the leading manufacturer of safety-focused shore power equipment, has enhanced the European-compliant 16A/230V and 32A/230V models of its connector with new BF16 and BF32 cord seals. The change incorporates the proven reliability of a unique compression nut design for increased water-tightness and cable grip, and superior support against strain and vibration. With numerous certifications including ETL and CE, the 16A/230V and 32A/230V SmartPlug connectors are ideal for boats based in or traveling to European waters. They provide over 27 times more metal-to-metal contact than traditional threaded ring connectors. This reduces electrical resistance and the potential for overheating. The unique asymmetrical design is also easier to use because of its effortless orientation without misalignment. The connectors push straight into the inlets and lock automatically. The dual locking side clips allow for one-handed use and make a secure, watertight sea...

  Mother Nature and RVers don’t always see eye-to-eye, especially when it comes to cold weather. But with SmartPlugSystems onboard, she can bring on her worst and not affect the safe flow of electricity to the RV, nor dampen the spirits of those who appreciate four-season camping.  When it’s time to plug into the pedestal, the SmartPlug System can’t be beaten. Its SUPERFLEX50 50A 125/250V 30′ dual configuration cord set remains flexible and easy to coil in temperatures down to -58° F. Unlike traditional twist-type connectors that require exposing fingers to the elements and fumbling with an ice-cold metal or plastic ring, the SmartPlug pushes straight in with one gloved hand.  Because it’s asymmetrical, it’s easy to do in near darkness. Ease of use is only half the equation. Extreme weather puts demands on motorhomes, trailers and truck campers. Whether running a heater or air conditioner, massive loads are placed on an RV’s electrical system. This is where S...
