Overview
A panel-mounted Type 2 surge protective device that guards a home's full electrical system at the breaker box, rather than one outlet at a time. It carries a 108kA per phase rating and reports its status with an LED.
This unit sits inside or beside a standard load center and connects to any manufacturer's panel, with a quick-connect option for phone and cable protection modules. It carries a UL 1449 listing and an indoor/outdoor rating, and the LED lets an owner check at a glance whether the device is still providing protection. Because it works at the panel, it backs up every circuit in the house at once instead of just the devices plugged into a single strip.
- Type 2 AC surge protection, 108kA per phase
- UL 1449 listed, indoor/outdoor rated
- Universal fit for any breaker panel brand
- LED status indicator
Who it's for
Homeowners who want surge protection for the whole panel, not just a few outlets, and who have an electrician or the comfort level to wire a device into the load center. Not a fit for anyone looking for a plug-in strip for a desk or entertainment center.
Pros and cons
- Connects to any manufacturer's breaker panel
- Rated for both indoor and outdoor mounting
- LED shows protection status at a glance
- Quick-connect design for phone/cable modules
- Needs panel wiring, not a plug-in device
- LED is a pass/fail indicator with no further detail
Performance notes
As a Type 2 SPD, it clamps voltage spikes that reach the panel before they travel further into the house wiring, rated to handle 108kA per phase. The LED status light is the only ongoing feedback an owner gets, so checking it after a known surge event, such as a nearby lightning strike or a grid event, is the way to confirm the unit is still active.
