I can see that point, but does that really effect insurance payout? It seems
like one could argue that a properly installed system with proper grounding
inspected by a building official has a lot more clout than and little grey
cylinder next to the inverter
It is quite ironic that just a week after I posted a question to the group
on testing the integrity of lightning arrestors, I had one apparently faulty
out of the box. The manifest of this was interesting: when the AC LA
(LA302R) was connected in parallel on the AC input to a SB3000 inverter,

I guess my thought is a little off topic, but are lightning arrestors even
worth using at all? My logic has always been that if lightning does indeed
strike that it's likely going to blow the arrestor and and inverter. We
don't have much of a lightning issue issue in the Bay Area so I don't
All,
Our AHJ's started making us take the Deltas out a couple of years ago, as
they are not listed equipment. We kept ordering them for awhile, thinking
they were necessary, cheap insurance, intending to return after the
inspection and put 'em in. We now have a large, dusty stack of uninstalled

Citel products do have a listing mark but this is European style CE, not
American style UL/ETL. Citel is reputedly working on American

I also live in a area without much lightning, however I install one in most
systems for the simple reason of insurance.

Please all
My own limited field experience in lightning country (New Mexico, Colorado,
Wyoming, Texas, Oklahoma), has definitely proven your point. Grounding and
testing of the grounding system is the first line of attack against lightning.
