Review on Eaton CHSPT2ULTRA Ultimate Surge Protection 3rd Edition, 2.38 inch Length, 5.25 inch Width, 7.5 inch Height by Adam Walsh

Why so difficult? The cables are pretty short. I planned to mount the block through a slot in the bottom of the board. I quickly realized that the wires wouldn't do if they weren't lengthened. However, there was plenty of space inside the panel. I mounted it at the top next to the main switch. But still, the white wire reached the neutral band with a large stretch. I also had to move the neutral wire down one screw to access the top connector. Drilling holes for the screws through the main panel wasn't easy. The plate is made of very hard steel. To make sure the screws were secure, I drilled smaller holes and kept enlarging them until I got the right size. As soon as I pulled the switch out I found a very thick wire connected and sealed with dielectric grease. Rather than mess with it, I ran to Ace and bought a 50 amp switch that would still code. Then when I assembled the panel I found that it was impossible to control the LEDs without removing the panel cover. I had to carefully measure and drill two holes in the lid that lined up with the LEDs. The old double measure doesn't work here because the lid moves after installation. I ended up drilling FOUR holes and sealing two with tape. No tape? No, because the tape is black and doesn't fit the plate. Well here I am guy. The boys use duct tape. It's a man thing, you don't understand. A total of eight holes were drilled into the hardened steel, and some of them were drilled three times to get the right size without stripping. Hooking up the unit was very quick and easy and if the cables had been long enough installation would have been just as easy. This is the installation of the block that took a lot of time and labor. Now that it's finished, I'm very happy with the assembly, as is my wife, because when the wing door is closed, nothing can be seen from the outside. As for the function of the device, I saw the internal components. MOV is very muscular! I can't imagine typical spikes or spikes could ever hurt this thing. I assume this will work forever unless we get struck by lightning. And that's the main reason. If this happens, we have more to worry about. But I think between that block and the pluggable surge arresters inside, our electronics should survive. We won't test that theory, but this device is insurance. Even normal daily spikes and bursts don't necessarily damage the hardware, but their effect is cumulative. At some point the electronics fail. This device combined with traditional surge arresters should extend the life of my gear. This is definitely something that no home can be without! Why isn't this required by code?
