    Customers are dissatisfied with the wire length of the power supply. They mention that the wires are not long enough to reach the 50 amp breaker, the leads could have been a bit longer, and the green wire was literally just long enough.

    Whole house protection, but takes effort to install it correctly for the best protection.

    Whole house protection, but takes effort to install it correctly for the best protection.
    We had a power outage a few days before installing the surge protector. And a GFI and the kitchen failed.It's important to connect the surge protector as close as possible to where the ground and neutral enter the bus bars.Will need the following materials and tools to install properly if your breaker box is vertical and mounting unit at bottom of box.50 Amp double pole circuit breaker to match your breaker panel (called for in instructions).One each Red, Black, Green and White 12 AWG stranded wire 2 to 3 feet (60 - 90 cm) long each. May be shorter or longer depending on your panel and mounting location.4 wire Nuts (Yellow).Electrical tape (optional)Wire strippers.Flat Blade screw driver.HammerPliersSmall round file to remove burrs.RTV or Silicon Gasket Material. Especially if Breaker box is part of the service entrance and is outside. Ours is outside.It takes longer than you expect to install, if you want to install it right. Depending on your experience 30 minutes to an hour.The instructions call for the double pole 50 amp circuit breaker to be installed close as to the main breaker as possible.In our case we had to move two single pole 20 amp Breakers down which go to Kitchen GFI. And use those positions to install the 50 amp breaker next to the main breaker.Using Pliers broke out two filler tabs for the 20 amp breakers moved down.Instructions also calls for a liquid tight connection to box but there is no gasket included to make a liquid tight connection.If your breaker panel is indoors and there are no water pipes near the panel, you may be able to install it without a liquid tight connection. Or use a silicone RTV gasket sealant to seal the unit tight to the exterior of the panel box. This was the option we chose. And we mounted the unit at the bottom of the box to protect it from the rain and weather. Used a good sized bead so that the RTV squeezed out and into the inside of box completely sealing unit to box.Used hammer and the flat blade screwdriver to knock out the plug at the bottom nearest to the back and pliers to pull it off. Sometimes there is a burr that is left and it will need to be filed smooth.The wires supplied on the unit are about 18 inches long (45 cm) so we had to lengthen the red and black wires to reach to the 50 Amp Breaker at the top near the main breaker.Had to lengthen the green wire to connect them as close as possible to the ground entry/connection point on the ground bus.Had to lengthen the white wire to connect them as close as possible to the neutral entry/connection point on the neutral bus.Although the unit comes with 14 AWG stranded wires up sized to 12 AWG wire to reduce resistance. Do not use automotive grade 14 gauge stranded the insulation is not rated for AC voltage.We striped the wires and used yellow wire nuts that make the connections to the added wire. Then for additional safety wrapped electrical tape in the same direction we turned the nuts. Then fold it over the nut on to the wire and taped over for additional safety.Now house is fully protected against surges. But still will use 120V surge protection strips to provide additional protection for electronic devices.Added this unit to protect the electronic controls on our new dryer and our induction range. But it also provides protection till the refrigerator, microwave and air fry oven which all have electronic control boards and adding a hundred twenty volt surge protector is not easily done.The reason down grades to 4 stars is because the wire length is too short and had to add on to make it work in this application and they did not provide a gasket which are available from McMaster-Carr and are intended for a 1 inch hose washer. Wasn't about to buy 100 pieces for one installation and pay shipping.If you have everything on hand it will take you about 30 minutes to one hour to install it. But because we had to run back to the store to get additional wire it took us 2 hours. The wire is relatively inexpensive at $0.39 a foot here locally. It's better to buy a little more wire and cut off the excess then to have to go to the store again.The 2 pole 50 amp breaker was also less expensive locally and under $10.The reason this unit was installed in the way we did is because I used to work for a commercial contractor and had to learn about and specify on the permit drawings how to properly install surge protection and lightning protection.*** Up Date March 2019*** we have had a couple of thunderstorms here locally in February and March. Saw the surge protector in action. A surge came from the Utility side (this is why you connected closest to the main) and the surge protector acted immediately and shunted the surge to ground. Lights did not dim appreciably but didn't notice our computers and TVs turn off just for a second then turn back on.The surge protector work the way it was supposed to. When it's shunted the surge to ground there was a temporary loss of power, but once the search had passed. The Protector returned back to normal mode... that's why the TV turned back on. And my son's computer did a check to make sure everything was running okay. We also have standby power supplies with surge protection on our computers.That extra effort to install it correctly protected all our electronics and the new washer and dryer we just purchased.

    5.0 out of 5 stars lots of protection, good performance
    Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2022
    I recommend it. This item has a history of good performance. I added it as increased protection over what the electrician installed when we built the house. I told the electrician he did a great job wiring my house (I inspected it as the house was being built), and because I was nice to him, he installed a 5K device in the outside box for free, which provides minimal protection (some, but not enough to make me comfortable). So, I got this Eaton device for extra protection at 108K and put it in the box in the garage. I didn't have room to put it inside the box, so I installed directly to the side of the box (see picture). Super easy to install. As other reviews mention, you need a 50A breaker, so read the product instructions and get exactly what the instructions say to get. And as some other reviews mention, nothing will protect from a direct lightning strike, so don't expect that kind of protection. At 108K (more than 20 times the protection of the 5K device in the outside box), this unit gives me peace of mind. Notice in the picture the two green lights are lit, which means it's functioning properly. I like how I can see it easily whenever I'm in the garage. I drive into the garage and think, "Yep, still protected."
    I forgot to mention...before you go buy the 50amp breaker, FIRST check your load center (i.e., panel box) to see what type it is, such as, for example, QO or Homeline. If, for example, you buy an HOM 50amp breaker, it won't fit in a QO panel, and vice versa.
    And, just so you know, the wires are supposed to be short. Some reviewers complain about them being too short such that the unit doesn't fit in their panel. The wires are short for a reason; if you extend the wires beyond their limited length, you risk the device not functioning properly when you need it. So, just because you might not understand the design (e.g., why the wires are so short), don't complain and bash the device as being a poor design.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty easy to install
    Reviewed in Canada on December 12, 2022
    Mounted it to the top of my panel - had to turn some other clamp screws to make enough space for it.

    Have to move around some breakers to make space to install the 50amp breakers in the closest location to the surge protector. Since the wire gauge is 14 AWG, I stripped the two red & black wires longer and folded them to make the amount of wire thicker to better hold and make contact under the breaker screw.

    For the neutral & ground wires, I wanted to connect them as close as possible to the neutral & ground entry points on the panel (which is at the bottom for me). So I used 12 AWG solid cables to make those connections, then used Wago splicing connectors to connect them to the stranded 14 AWG cables from the Eaton.

    Overall not too difficult of an installation, just need to find the ideal mounting location and have the 50amp breakers close to it.
