Square D by Schneider Electric HOM2175SB Homeline SurgeBreaker, Surge Protection Device, 25kA, 120/240V, 1-Phase, 3-Wire

Needed this for the new Electric Panel that I installed to pass final inspection. As the rules have been updated. Works well.

Great product

The national electrical code has changes and surge protection is required in electrical panels. I have long had a single whole house surge suppressor and individual, local surge suppressors on equipment like a heat pump, but I ordered these to protect the other panels on my property. Of course they are easy to install. Connect the neutral and insert the breaker. It may be nothing more than insurance for the growing population of electronic devices, but I consider it money well spent.

I live in an area where there are frequent power line glitches. Not full blackouts that last several seconds to hours, but dips and interruptions just long enough to trigger my UPS devices. These glitches seem to be the most potentially damaging to electronic devices, especially devices having inadequate internal surge protection. I already have a whole-house surge protector in my house distribution panel, and bought this device for my remote workshop that is on a separate power line. Installation is quick and simple as it mounts in any breaker panel position just like a 240 volt circuit breaker, and requires only the white wire to be connected to ground. The green light provides assurance it is operational when the panel door is opened. Whole house surge protection is essential wherever there is power line chaos and expensive electronic equipment is at risk -- highly recommend.

Easy installation, clear instructions. If you know what you are doing when you pull the cover off a panel, then this is simple. If you don’t know for sure what you are doing, get some help.

It’s difficult to say how well this works, but it was pretty easy to install. I will say that after installation, I’ve had issues with my pressure washer tripping a GFCI outlet on a different circuit. I haven’t removed it to check if it is the cause, but it is a possible issue.

Living in central Florida exposes our home to occational close lightening strikes. Being concerned about electrical surges that might damage some of our electronic equipment in our home, I thought it prudent to install a whole house surge protector. The cost of this unit is so much less than what our power company charges to provide protection, so this was a no brainer. The complete proccess to install this surge breaker took only a few minutes and can be completed by just about anyone with some knowlege about electricity. If you have not been exposed to working in an electrical panel and are uncomfortable, you can always hire an electrician. I turned the main breaker off, removed the panel cover, removed and existing breaker, installed the surge breaker, connected the nuetral wire and after replacing the panel cover and reenergized the main breaker, it was done. You should be aware that even though the main breaker is off, there is still power comming into the electrical panel from the utility. Make sure that you stay clear of that power coming in and use all standard safety precautions. This fit nicely into my square D panel and does take up the space of two standard size breakers. I do like that it has a green light that showes it to be powered up and doing it's job. Time will tell if it is durable but it has all the indications of being well made.

Good product good value

It does the trick

Es de buena calidad pero no me funcionó para el tablero eléctrico que tenía, tengo que cambiar por un modelo homeline ya que el tengo es Qo... Me confundí al comprar el dispositivo equivocado ya que manejan los dos modelos.

worked great

Unit was installed in my electrical box to have protection from power surges. Haven't had the opportunity to access the product yet as there hasn't been any power interruptions.

This does "NOT" fit square D QO panels. It is for homeline HO panels.
