SmartPlug is a company specializing in advanced power delivery systems for boats and RVs. It was founded in 2007 by Ken Smith, who aimed to improve safety and ease of use for shore power connections.
The main purpose of the SmartPlug shore power system is to provide a safer and more reliable alternative to traditional shore power systems, particularly in marine and recreational vehicle (RV) applications. The SmartPlug system is designed to address the leading causes of shore power failure and fires, which are loose connections and corrosion. It is a revolutionary system that aims to replace outdated and problematic twist-type designs with a more intuitive and user-friendly solution. Construction is of the highest quality.

The SmartPlug system offers several key features that enhance safety and ease of use:

• Intuitive Design: The SmartPlug system is designed to be easy to use, eliminating the need for twisting and locking like traditional twist-lock plugs. This makes connecting and disconnecting a breeze, even in the dark.
• Multi-Point Locking System: The SmartPlug system features side clips that lock the plug body securely into the inlet, eliminating any stress on the electrical connection from movement of the power cord.
• Weatherproof Seals: The SmartPlug system is designed to be weatherproof, with superior gaskets installed in the interior of the plug body that eliminate any water penetration when plugged into an inlet. This prevents corrosion, ensuring a reliable connection even in harsh marine environments.
• Reduced Overheating: The SmartPlug system is designed to reduce overheating, with increased pin and clip surface area that improves electrical conductivity during high amperage demand. This reduces the risk of electrical overheating, a common issue with traditional connections.
• Ease of Installation: The marine smart plug system is retrofit-friendly, making it easy to upgrade existing marine electrical connections.

FAQs

Why is SmartPlug better than traditional shore power?
SmartPlug is safer and more reliable than traditional shore power connectors because it eliminates loose connections, prevents overheating, and provides a secure, weatherproof seal, reducing the risk of electrical fires.

Marine safety guidelines

Make sure the connection is secure by fully inserting and locking the SmartPlug in place. Inspect regularly for corrosion, damage, or loose wiring. Keep connections dry and use weatherproof covers when not in use. Avoid overloading circuits by matching the correct amperage. Turn off shore power before connecting or disconnecting to prevent arcing.
