Let me say this more clearly so there is no misunderstanding... you only use one of these per load center. So for example, I have three 200 Amp load centers in my house with 40 breakers each (600 amp feed to the house). I use one of these per load center, for a total of three. It cost me a total of $150 for the surge protectors... and I've never had a failure. I used them on my last house too, that I built in 1995 and I never had a failure there either (but I did have to replace one surge protector after a bad storm).

However, off the top of my head, with the new addition I will have about 30 circuits, so putting those devices on each circuit would cost a lot more than even the $600 whole house unit I was looking at. 73, Erik K7TV Bill K9HZ wrote: http://www.drillspot.com/products/120821/square_d_qo2175sb_qo_surgebreaker_s econdary_surge_protector I use these at all of my locations... ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
