Re: [WISPA] TVSS
I have a Cutler Hammer cvl 50 at my datacenter. http://www.eaton.com/EatonCom/Markets/Electrical/Products/PowerQualityManagement/TransientVoltageSurgeSuppression/LightCommercialSurgeProtectionCVL/index.htm No idea what's at home. Just two little breaker looking things in the panel that have an LED and a label that say protection. I think you can get these at the big box hardware stores if you have a standard breaker style. In either case, they were obtained and installed by an electrician, and I'm not sure where he got them.

[WISPA] TVSS
Does anyone have any experience with whole-building Transient Voltage Surge Supression (TVSS) systems? If you have other suggestions, I am willing to hear them. We use APC UPSs, but also want another layer of protection. Thanks, Eric Rogers Precision Data Solutions, LLC (317) 831-3000 x200 WISPA Wants You!
