Review on ⚡ Intermatic IG1240RC3: Gray Whole Home Surge Protection Device - Type-1 or 2 by Quintin Gore

I'm not sure about this device. It was installed for about a year and then apparently we had a nearby surge or strike when there was no one in the house going down the line and coming into the house. After the power supply in an iMac was found dead along with the air handling motor and transformer in a nearly new air conditioner that was a bit dusty, I examined the unit and found it had exploded. With full exposure, the impact could overwhelm him, and if the wave is large enough, the person has no defenses to prevent harm. In addition, it could run out from a fatal blow to the instruments. I'll order a different brand just to be safe. Installed correctly, wires no longer than 6 inches at shield or service entry. In a word, there was no obvious happy ending to the life of the unit. No heroism to report.
