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

If you have an Eaton box buy BRSURGE/CHSURGE. Fits snugly in 2 slots and protects up to 30,000 amps (I think). At the time of publication, it's only around $60. If you want something good, grab the wacky Semens, which costs around $300. I was told that the wires are much longer in this one. Of course you don't want the wires to be too long, but long enough for installation without the schematic wire nut. It didn't work in the Eaton box; the wire was not long enough.

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…

A few days before installing the surge protector, we had a power outage. And the GFI and the kitchen are out of order. It is important to connect the surge protector as close as possible to the point where earth and neutral enter the busbars. You will need the following materials and tools for proper installation when your switch box is upright and your mounting block is upright. at the bottom of the box.
