EATON CHSPT2ULTRA Ultimate Surge Protection 3rd Edition, 2.38 Length, 5.25 Width 7.5 Height

I installed this Whole House Surge Protector in November 2013 and so far all is well. Both lights are still green. A Whole House Surge protector should never be a stand-alone solution and heres why: This EATON CHSPT2ULTRA will pass 600 volts of surge energy into the house before it begins to divert the surge to the EARTH ground. But the manufacture states that you need to add 25 Volts to that number for each inch of wiring used. Since a typical installation can be from 12 to 18 inches, then the total amount of voltage being passed into the house before the SPD turns on would be from 900 to 1050 Volts. The IEEE recommends that this device be used in a layer approach, that is use additional Type 3 SPDs throughout your house. The IEEE also states that some 20% of surges originate outside the home as a result of power company switching equipment, trees falling onto overhead power-lines or lightning induced onto overhead or buried power lines. Thats where this unit helps because once the voltage reaches between 900 and 1050 volts the remaining surge energy will be diverted to the EARTH ground. The IEEE also states that some 80% of surges originate within the home as a result of motors (refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, furnaces, washing machines, clothes dryers, blenders, mixers, power tools, etc ...) and/or ignition devices (electric stove tops, water heaters, furnaces) cycling on/off. From the side panel on the CHSPT2ULTRA Where do surges come from (1) Lightning, (2) Utility disturbances, (3) Home Appliances turning on/off. Since I have a solar array on the roof I also have a Midnight Solar SPD on the Solar electrical junction box ahead of the mains electrical panel (those are the other electrical boxes on the side of the house)

This arrived very quick and did have instructions included. It was so very simple to install. Only issue I had was the way our box is set up. Was able to get it installed in about 20 minutes, powered our main on and had been working great since July. We have constant surges for some unknown reason, per the electric company. This has helped so much the surges we have are lights go out in one spot and dim in another room. So glad I found this for sure.

Measure three times before buying for a good fit inside the panel! Had to knock out the drywall to install outside the panel, no big deal. House lights no longer dims when the furnace kicks in!! Got it after lighting strike next to the house. Shorted out cable the washing machine. Thank goodness for ups with surge suppressor on all computers!!

Easy to install as long as you are comfortable working in an open breaker panel. Otherwise hire someone who is! Very simple and easy installation.

We used to get power surges a couple times a day, and I was worried about damage to my electronics. Put this in and we rarely see any surges. When we do, theyre minor. Big improvement and a must have if you have unreliable power or solar like we do.

just as described

The unit has outstanding ratings for such a small package. The leads are way too short. They are about 12 long and should be at least 24, especially if you have to mount the SP away from the ground and neutral bar locations. I would prefer to see terminal screws used if they cant increase the lead length.

Easy install. Land the black and red wires on a 50 amp circuit breaker. White and green in the neutral and ground bus bars. I placed the unit inside of my panel. Drilled two holes to view the leds.

Ive only had this GPS Tracker for a week, but it works great. I get email notifications to my iPhone quickly (e.g., ignition started, unit has left the fence, ignition off, etc.). Tracking the vehicle on the Google map is very accurate and the position of the vehicle updates automatically every 30 seconds. I had to call Tech Support for set-up because we live in Mexico and had to substitute the (U.S.) SIM card that came with the unit with a Mexican Telcel SIM card. Tech Support was very helpful in providing me with the correct info to get the Telcel SIM card activated. They stayed on the phone with me until the Tracker gained a signal and started tracking correctly (it took about 3-4 minutes). I also like the customization features this unit offers. You can change the refresh rate of the unit on the map, set/change the distance for the electronic fence, monitor the speed of the vehicle (or not), even view the volume of traffic on a route, and more. This unit runs off the car battery (with no battery drain) so you dont have to worry about replacing batteries in the unit. You can move the tracker from one vehicle to another quickly & easily. I would highly recommend this GPS Tracker.

Great price and product installs easy enough, hope that it will do the job. Havent had any surges yet.
