Overview
Mounting beside a meter or inside a load center, this Siemens BoltShield connects in parallel to protect the whole house. Thermally protected MOVs absorb surges, and a red flag with an audible alarm signals when it needs replacing.
Very high surge capacity and flexible indoor or outdoor mounting suit homes with frequent storms. It is a hardwired job, not a plug-in fit.
Who it's for

Performance notes
Parallel connection means the device is wired beside the circuit and only conducts when voltage spikes. Higher kA ratings let it survive bigger surges. Thermal protection removes overheated MOVs from the circuit so a failed part does not become a hazard.
