Re: [Elecraft] Whole house surge protector at the main breaker?

2016-01-06 Thread kd7gc
Square D Homeline is the cheapest of the Square D family of breakers.  You
are much better off using the Square D QO line.  They cost more, but they
are of much higher quality and reliability.  Ask your electrician or
electrical contractor what panel and breakers they have at home, and most
will use the QO line.

I  use a Square D Homeline SurgeBreaker 
Model HOM2175SB 
As that's what fits my panel. Your panel may be different. You need to mount
it as close to the top as possible and it takes up two spots, so that it
covers both legs. 
It has a small neutral pigtail that also gets connected. 

I also use surge suppressors at each piece of electronic, home theater, TVs,
computers, etc. 

I have an L-Com unit on the telephone line coming into the house that is
grounded to the electrical service panel. The cable TV is also tied to
ground. 

My main shack computer goes through a protected UPS. 

Does it work? I hope so. All our services are underground but I've had one
strike to tree next to the house and one strike across the street. No
problems yet.

Re: [Elecraft] Whole house surge protector at the main breaker?

2016-01-06 Thread Walter Underwood
When I was in high school in Indianapolis, our next door neighbor was a ham. He 
worked on lightning arrestors at GE. He said that the impedance of a ground 
strap was too high for a lightning pulse. The lightning would use it as a 
guide, jumping between the strap and the guide. Until it got close to ground, 
then it went everywhere.

So don’t assume that lightning follows the rules you know about DC or AC power.

Lets end this thread now and take it to direct email between posters, if needed, 
as we're flooding the list with a huge number of single topic postings. Its 
certainly exceeding the near term topic posting limit.


Please remember that this is the Elecraft list and that most posts shuld pertain 
directly to Elecraft product topics. Other more general ham radio postings are 
certainly allowed, but please limit those postings and replies to a much smaller

Do that with great caution. Nearly all UPS units include MOVs, which, 
like any other MOV surge protectors on branch circuits can CAUSE 
equipment to be destroyed. If you're going to use a UPS, use a SERIES 
MODE between the UPS and the outlet.

It's more than "belt and suspenders" -- IEEE data shows that up to 3kV 
can be generated on wiring inside our homes. So while that whole house 
unit clamps stuff coming in on the power lines from outside our home, 
it's good to have a SurgeX protecting branch circuits with critical 
gear. I have them on my ham gear, my computer gear, my hi-fi gear, and 
my XYL's sewing machines.

Re: [Elecraft] Whole house surge protector at the main breaker?

2016-01-06 Thread James Bennett
Be sure your electric utility is involved. One of those surge protectors was 
installed at our house, along with a "smart meter". Turns out those two 
particular devices, for whatever reason, we're not compatible. The meter 
overheated and subsequently got so hot the plastic in the housing melted. When 
it went, it took out the four plugs in the mains panel. Repairs ran close to 
$500, which the electric utility paid for, since it was one of their installers 
who put the darn thing in to begin with. Yikes!

For the last 20 years, I have had a Joslyn 1265-85 at the panel. I'm sure
it's no longer available, but it's a 10x12x6 NEMA 4 box with fist-sized MOV
modules inside with some monitoring circuitry on a small pwb driving 2
front panel LEDs. I am at the very end of a long rural 12.4 kV run in
central VA and, so far so good. (he said, snapping his fingers to keep the

Re: [Elecraft] Whole house surge protector at the main breaker?

2016-01-06 Thread Alan
I used an Eaton CHSPT2ULTRA whole house surge protector.  It should be 
installed by a competent electrician.

Leviton makes some, amongst others. Plenty to see if you Google them. I
like the one that actually replaces your electric meter socket. This puts
the surge protector about as upstream as you can get it.More commonly they
are wired to a breaker in your load center.
