Am offering this link as a source to "read up"  on what's covered and what's not covered by various surge protector manufactures.

Seems as if electronic products (microprocessor based radios) are often excluded rather than included.

Eric,

Polyphaser & Transtector are two that I've used on our commercial radio sites 
in past years.  I understand those two have since been merged under one company 
(Infinite Electronics), but still sell under their original names.

If your local electric utility offer whole house surge guard service, you could 
find out what brand they're using.

If they offer the service and you're thinking of getting this through them, be 
aware they might not cover lightning surge protection if you have outdoor 
antennas connected to the house since they won't cover surge damage coming in 
through the antenna cables.  They can always claim it came in that way even if 
it did not.

I'm interested in having a whole house surge (AC) protector installed.


How does one size it, and can anyone recommended a manufacturer (and particular 
model)?



Thanks & 73,
