Actually the surge breaker should be as close to the input feeders as it can, that way it protects all of the breakers to follow.....

[@ETPCYT]

Thanks for the tip JAY :)

[@Boyntonstu]

The wire lengths from all the other breakers to their loads are much further than the few inch leads to the EATON.

[@jeffreylonigro1382]

So it should be at the top of the panel? (Unless it’s bottom fed)

[@hanskonrad5850]

Eaton says location doesn't matter as far as being closest to the main breaker or furthest . The device senses the surge and aids in sending to ground immediately from the buss before getting to branch breakers ... better have proper ground and correct awg for insurance. Also matching breaker to box mfg.

[@georgebecht6357]

Epic, There are three levels of surge protection you may be interested in. I live in Florida, need I say more. Type 1 is a surge protector at the electrical meter installed by the utility company or a licensed electrician for surges that occur outside on the grid. Type 2 is dedicated to an appliance like the AC compressor, AHU, well pumps etc. There are Type 3 surge protected outlets that can be installed at the point of use like at the refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine, or anywhere you want additional surge protection. Surge protected power strip you may use at your computer or entertainment equipment is Type 3. I use a UPS with surge protection for my TV, set top box, WIFI router and speakers so that my TV does not go down on short power interruptions. Type 2 & 3 are for surges that come from inside the house. There is a lot to know about surge protection, I have been researching if for awhile now. Hope this is helpful and you don't loose any more equipment due to surges.

[@ETPCYT]

GEORGE, Thanks so much for your wisdom and insight. I appreciate YOU taking the time to explain and offer suggestions. A lot of guys just say how wrong it was and don't offer help on how to do it better or the correct way. Hopefully YOUR comments help others that have had issues like I did with surges. Thanks again from CALIFORNIA :)

[@georgebecht6357]

EPIC, You may enjoy viewing my video about the power monitor I built and installed into my circuit breaker panel kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2jEZY2hmNWgnJY

[@rosannegoring2455]

Best to always remove any rings silver and gold pretty good conductors pretty good burn or loss of finger can occur also I wouldn't use a drill on breaker I surfaced mounted 1900 box and nippled surge protector to that you can put either side of panel at the top put 2 pole 50 amp breaker top of panel right below main breaker. Oh yes Retired N.Y.C electrician.

[@ETPCYT]

Awesome TIPS, thank YOU so much , ROSANNE :)

[@MrDirectlyME]

Personally i would have bought a NEMA1 6 in. x 6 in. x 4 in. box at Home depot with a 'close' chase nipple to use between the panel and the box. Making sure that the box itself sits flush with the outside of the wall which is generally 5/8"in.(marking the box to get it lined up with the sheetrock). Then use a step bit holes from the measurements from the offset of the hole from your home panel to the box itself. After getting all your measurements drawn out, you would just screw the inside of the box next to the side of the stud where your panel is located and secure the box. Next thing is to just self tap (screw) the module inside The rest you would just make extensions (Judging from the wires the provided it was a #10 awg Str. but I question it should be larger wires) all in all i think it would make it look more aesthetically pleasing. (Less dust and insulation blowing in) All under $25 at Hdepot. Other then that im not in a place to judge you on your work but i wouldnt use an impact on any breakers in the panels cause that would just blow the screws out of them. Hope You'd find other great ideas for your diy adventures!

[@ETPCYT]

I wish I would have had your comment before I did this lol :) I do appreciate the great tips and advice! Hopefully others will read this and gain the knowledge. I may tidy it up a bit as you suggested.. I underestimated the time it would take to do this and I kind of rushed it as my house was out of power and it was growing dark. Thank YOU again! and have a great day, BRO :)

[@E150GT]

They make a flush mount kit for this surge supressor

[@smoeke1]

This guy is hilarious. I lol'd when he cut back to showing he clipped the bottom of his panel cover.

[@ETPCYT]

Thanks BRIAN... glad it's good for comedy relief :) Take care BRO :)

[@carlosvillalba8584]

There is a trim plate that is bought separately. I use a 1/2” GRC coupling and that lowers the whole unit down and allows the panel cover to be installed without having to “custom cut” the cover.

[@ETPCYT]

Thanks, Carlos! That is a great tip :) Have a good day my FRIEND :)

[@brianbatiste80]

Breaker in the wrong place it should be at the very top on the incoming lugs power coming into the box and your wires should be much shorter

[@ETPCYT]

Thanks so much BRIAN for the helpful tips

[@anthonylosego]

Also, it's a code violation in most places to have anything on the wall to the sides of the panel. As much as 36". If you aren't selling your house, it may not pose a problem. But I'd take that shelf down or move it before selling if you ever do. Blocking the panel cover is a flagrant violation. Think of it this way, say something happens to your drop and they have to pull a permit to repair it. Then they have to inspect it, and that will fail you instantly. You might wanna have that fixed just in case. Unless, of course, your brother is the local inspector. /s

[@ETPCYT]

Sage advice, ANTHONY! thank YOU my FRIEND :)

[@anthonylosego]

9:11 vs 10:11. If you look at the left edge of the breaker, it was back farther (to the left). Meaning it was not able to rock down due to binding. Before even beginning to rock it down into place, make sure the left edge hooks fully onto the pivot point. Think of it as a slight wiggling motion (no more than 1/16th") and applying slight pressure straight to the right. This fully seats the hooks so the breaker can swing down. Otherwise, you can use a 2lb hammer and beat the crap out of it. That will also get it to sit flush. I would not recommend this though. Damage to your box is likely. lol

[@ETPCYT]

appreciate the tips, ANTHONY :)

[@Goog1emeb210]

Loved this video it was f***** hilarious made my day so many things done wrong but the best part was when he turns on his main with all the other breakers on but the surge protector he could have caused a power surge just by doing that

[@buddhalovechild]

Perfect. That helped a lot. Thank you.

[@ETPCYT]

YOU are welcome .. perhaps check out some of the comments and see if this is the way you want to do it or not.. :)

[@phjohnso]

the way you touch things inside the panel show you really don't know what you are doing

[@ETPCYT]

I do have a lot to learn

[@griffon3275]

What you should have done prior to buying the circuit breaker was read the model of the panel on the door .. to get the right breaker as in sace of fire insurance will not cover claim if you have wrong brand breaker installed. Also you could have moved all the breakers on left side up and mounted your 2 pole breaker bottom left and had no issues about length.

[@ETPCYT]

Good tips, thank YOU very much :)

[@markkaminski4028]

There is a trim piece you can buy that fits around this surge protector (and would tidy it up). However, it would work better if there was a short nipple or pipe to extend the unit downward a bit (as others have indicated).

[@ETPCYT]

Thanks for the info MARK, I appreciate it very much :) Take care my FRIEND :)

[@georgebecht6357]

Good practice recommends that one should remove all jewelry before working on electrical equipment. You should get a good quality, insulated screwdriver. NEVER, NEVER use a power drill in an electrical panel. You lost some of your electronic equipment due to a power surge, you almost lost your LIFE working in the panel. There is so much wrong with what you did I recommend that you take an electrical safety course, the life you save may be your own.

[@ETPCYT]

Thanks for the sage advice, GEORGE! In hind sight this is something I should have left to the professionals. Be well my FRIEND :)

[@JohnstonPettigrew]

yes, exactly. We are not trying to flame the author....but there were some very dangerous practices here.....one an apprentice learns quickly.

[@robbybiddle9236]

Don’t pay any attention to the person who commented “Hack!!”. As a licensed master electrician there is not a lot wrong with this installation. The only things I would’ve done differently would be to move the 50 amp breaker closer to the surge protector, and make the wires feeding the surge protector as short as possible (you’re supposed to cut off any excess wire, including the ground and neutral), and technically you’re supposed to stick with the same manufacturer for load centers and breakers, i.e. Eaton breakers for an Eaton box, and Siemens breakers in a Siemens box and so on. Other than that what you did was fine. The dude who commented “Hack!!” just said that to try and get a negative response from you. Bravo for not taking the bait.

[@ETPCYT]

Hey Robby, I appreciate you taking time to let me know! Great tips for sure. Have a great day my FRIEND :)

[@lotsa2000]

I have a four-wire Eaton surge suppressor. I'm trying to install it on the outside panel and there appears to be a unified bus for the neutral and ground wires. Should I connect the neutral and ground wires on the surge suppressor to the same spot on the bus?

[@MadZell]

If you are a licensed master electrician... and you only see those few issues...I hope you never get hired to do any work any place I may visit.

[@Hizenbird]

[@RLHansen17]

When shopping for this exact product the big box stores all say 15 amp double pole breaker recommended, yet in the instructions a 50 amp is mentioned (5Ka). So which is it?, please and thank you.

[@amenlion88]

Actually there's no surge protector that can ultimately stop the lighting surge. Devices are there just to limit and give a degree of protection.

[@ETPCYT]

Just trying to avoid having my appliances wiped out by a bunch of power surges from the lines.. I installed this because we had some storms and the power went on and off rapidly.. it killed my stove and one of my heat pumps

[@dlcmsid]

This should serve as a good example of how NOT to install a whole-house surge protector - and should prob be taken down. Any real electrician must be cringing to watch this. Anyone with a comparable skill and knowledge level to this author's should hire a professional and have the work done correctly. It could literally save your life - let alone your electric appliances.

[@ETPCYT]

I have some people saying it was good some saying it was bad. I am not an electrician but I did my best to follow the installation instructions.. Specifically what was done wrong would help instead of just saying it's wrong. We would all appreciate what exactly was done wrong so that we could fix it. Thanks for the comment JESS and have a wonderful day :)

[@dlcmsid]

@@ETPCYT The responsible thing would have been to emphasize ,up front, your lack of expertise AND warn any potential DIY'ers about the lethal level of electricity coming into that panel even with the main breakers off. That's something that virtually ALL of the reviewers for these types of devices explicitly state. Secondly, as several commenters have noted, this device is supposed to be installed as the FIRST breaker in the box - not somewhere in the middle as you have done. That way, any power surge can be intercepted FIRST and diverted to ground rather than getting into other preceeding circuits and damaging them before the surge is diverted to ground. Aside from these critical misses on your part would be the sloppy wallboard "repair" using a floor tile? Come on - are you serious? That last is more of a cosmetic issue. The second could still result in circuit damage or failure - but the first could cost some unsuspecting DIY'er their life!.

[@rosannegoring2455]

@@ETPCYT This guy seems very capable of doing the job but to point out a few dangers First: Never wear Rings when working in an electrical panel or any electrical for that matter that gold is a very good conductor and I know a guy that lost his finger that way. Second: No need to use a drill to screw or unscrew a breaker thats also a potential unnecessary danger.Third: His panel has 7 tandem breakers and the label on the panel door shows ONLY single pole breakers allowed. Fourth: Not supposed to cut panel cover.Five: The 2 pole breaker for surge protector should be put top of panel nearest feed coming in.Easier and cheaper way buy a 1900 box with a blank cover and surface mount near top of panel on either side you will have to cut into 2x4 in wall thats on either side of panel to gain access to the knockout and also to run a small piece of armor to get into back of 1900 box using an angle connector then nipple the surge protector into the 1900 box. You would have to do this all in steps as to get the wires nicely thru the 1900 box and armor it will come out very neatly and safely if you take your time. Hope this helps Regards John retired electrician.

Hey CHARLES, yeah It seems I didn't do everything right lol.. was in a crazy time crunch sun was going down and house without power and was getting quite cold.. perhaps not the best idea to rush a job esp when electricity is involved.. that all being said so far it is working well :) Take care BRO :)

[@Holiday48000]

You also could of mounted the Surge Suppressor inside the Circuit Breaker Panel or moved the other circuit breakers up higher so you could of placed the new breaker closer to the surge unit itself. Also never use a Impact driver to attach wires to the circuit breakers.

[@ETPCYT]

Very good tips, JOHN, thanks a bunch my friend.. I wish I had all these helpful tips before I started this project :) Take care BRO :)

Many inspectors will fail you for putting it inside the panel unless you have a CH panel with the mount and knockout for those specific surge arresters.

I'm trying to install it in the outside panel, which appears to have a unified ground/neutral. Should I connect the neutral and ground wires on the surge suppressor and connect them into the same neutral bus?

Hey man, I have a serious concern. I just installed one of these, and the instructions called for a 15 amp 2 pole breaker. So I just looked it up on Eaton's website, looked at the instructions again, and checked out the amps from the lowes website and it all says 15. I see you put it in a 50 amp 2 pole breaker. You might seriously want to look into that.

[@ETPCYT]

ummm yeah that is a pretty bad blunder.. I could have sworn it said 50amp 2 pole.. I will look into it.. Thanks so much, CONNOR!

I'm getting ready to install one of these. Reading the instructions: Under "IMPORTANT"; "To maximize the CHSP's performance, twist and bind the wires togeather to reduce the impedance of the wire (one twist / inch)". I wonder if that refers to the two hots, or all four wires? I would like to see an example of this. The issue is, if the impedance of the wires is high, then it will take more time for the device to respond to a surge.

@@ETPCYT Under the general category of planning: the any breaker ( OCPD) must be listed by the panel manufacturer as acceptable. This info is printed on panel cover door. Anything other than the exact listing violates 110.3b of NFPA70. It seems apparent that you are not familiar with NFPA70 and beginning with that deficiency you ought not try to 'instruct' others.

The breaker is a siemens and that is what the panel has listed as the only acceptable breaker.. Other breakers in the box are not. I did not install all the other breakers...
