Square D by Schneider Electric HOM2175SB Homeline SurgeBreaker, Surge Protection Device, 25kA, 120/240V, 1-Phase, 3-Wire

Love using this

I live in an area where there are frequent power line glitches. Not full blackouts that last several seconds to hours, but dips and interruptions just long enough to trigger my UPS devices. These glitches seem to be the most potentially damaging to electronic devices, especially devices having inadequate internal surge protection. I already have a whole-house surge protector in my house distribution panel, and bought this device for my remote workshop that is on a separate power line. Installation is quick and simple as it mounts in any breaker panel position just like a 240 volt circuit breaker, and requires only the white wire to be connected to ground. The green light provides assurance it is operational when the panel door is opened. Whole house surge protection is essential wherever there is power line chaos and expensive electronic equipment is at risk -- highly recommend.

Easy to install and was an exact replacement of the original.

perfect

This was an easy install in a older Homeline panel. I just moved some of the top breakers to get it as close to the inbound lines as possible. It does have a smaller 25kA rating which I assume is a limit of the neutral pig wire connection vs the newer style for clamp on neutral which doubles the rating to 50kA but those only work on HOM Plug-on Neutral panels which are newer.

Seems to work

Very easy to install.

Easy install and should really help out here in west Texas where we get insane lightning at times. Our previous electric company installed an surge suppressor at each electric meter but not our current one. Figured it would be wise to add this.
