I've stated earlier an SPD at the electric panel will not warranty a

SquareD says for their "best" service panel protector "electronic

Correct. I bet westom will claim this fact is propagandag

I have no doubt in my mind it's the product of SquareD company lawyers
wanting to make sure they can point to it when someone's stuff gets
damaged. "Look, we warned you!!!! and you failed to have a Plug-in.
And now go sue the Plug-in people because they were the LAST line of
defense so if your product was damaged is was THEM not US."


The SquareD connected equipment warranty $ is double when the service
panel protector “is used in conjunction with ... a point of use surge
protective device.”

The NIST surge guide, written by someone who has researched surges and
surge protection (with many published papers), suggests that most
equipment damage is from high voltage between power and cable/phone/...
wiring. A service panel protector does not, by itself, limit that
damage. The quotes from SquareD are consistent with what is written in
the IEEE and NIST surge guides. They come from electrical engineering.
