Review on ⚡️ Residential Surge Protection: Leviton 51110-SRG Panel by Steve Hauck

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I saved my stuff during a line shortage, love these things!

I installed two of these LEDs on my houseboat about 5 years ago (one for each dock cable). I've never lost a single electrical or electronic device in all that time and I live in a high lightning area in Florida -- plus the electric wharf here is patchy at best. Before installing them, I was losing computers or air conditioners with frustrating regularity. So I already love her. Yesterday the marina wiring shorted out after a week of rain sending current through the neutral and ground wires. Both smoked and melted before the switches went off half a second later. After the wiring was repaired in port, I was delighted to find that not a single electrical part on the boat was damaged, even the computer, fridge and air conditioning that were working at the time of the short circuit are fine. These protectors WORK. For a hundred dollars (two units) my expensive gimmicks were saved. Got two new ones overnight and installed them straight away. I will never be without her. Would have been 5 stars but the mounting holes have changed about 1/4" for no apparent reason and I had to re-drill my panels. But I'm a customer for life even if there are extra holes in my electrical box.

Pros
  • LEDs indicate power and surge protection status for each phase
Cons
  • Some errors
