This seems like an excellent product. I have yet to experience an outage after installation so it has yet to prove its effectiveness.
Seems to be a well designed product.
Installation was very easy and I was actually able to install the unit inside the breaker switch cabinet and have a clear view of the unit by simply opening the cabinet door. ALWAYS SHUT OFF POWER TO ENTIRE HOUSE AT MAIN SWITCH DURING INSTALLATION.
Need to purchase a two pole 50 ampere breaker for installation. This breaker is specific to your panel. That is if the panel is GE, you must buy a GE breaker. If Eaton, Eaton, etc. You may need to relocate existing breakers to accommodate the new breaker. Professional install advised if you are not adept at this sort of DIY jobs.
This is a good value in surge protection. Highly rated on several websites and has strong surge capabilities. Requies a 50 amp double pole breaker if installed in your service panel. Mine fit at the bottom of the panel. If not electrically inclined may want to leave the installation to a qualified electrician.
The hook up was simple, though the wires should be longer. Note: I wouldn't recommend mounting this unit to an existing panel thats inside a finished wall.
My only complaint is that the leads were too short and had to be extended to reach the ground/neutral bar in the breaker panel. Other than that it appears to be working fine.
Pro's:
1) Reasonable price.
2) Easy DIY installation.
3) Excellent surge protection.
Con's
1) Unit comes pre-wired with wire length's too short to reach terminations in my Square D panel.
