[RFI] Recommendation needed: Whole house surge protection

[Thomas Hoyer]

Timely question as last week there was an accident near me that caused a high voltage line to fall across the low voltage lines. 


Spent the next few days replacing fuses and varistors in several appliances and throwing out four line cord type surge protectors that got fried. Lucky for me none of my radios or computers were damaged.


Been doing the research into a whole house unit myself and I'd be interested in hearing others opinions / experiences.

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,
