Andy,
An autoformer provides a voltage boost by lowering the amperage when there is a voltage drop coming in to the rig. Most autoformers are also equipped with a sacrificial surge suppressor. An EMS monitors the electrical feed to the rig and shuts down power if harmful conditions are detected, i.e. low voltage, high voltage, open grounds, surges, etc. An Autoformer will allow you to use your rig when there are low voltage conditions, and EMS will simply shut off the power supply to the rig until it is safe. The best solution is one of each (that is what I have installed). The most valuable asset I believe is the EMS, then the Autoformer. Hope this helps.
