I just replaced my refrigerator and wanted to know what your opinions are about installing a receptical surge protector? Thanks
Except the pocketbook.so it doesn't hurt.
The key to lightning protection is good bonding. People think that having a perfect electrode is important. It isn't.
I would have more than just a little tvss installed on your mains, I would also have a multi mode surge suppressor installed on the phone and coax. Make sure that all coax and phone grounds are bonded to the main system ground. A ground rod will NOT do.
Do you have any clue as to what you are saying?
Just what do you think. . .
Jesus!Do you have any clue as to what you are saying?
Just what do you think. . .
Relax. . .
The OP can and should decide what to believe.
Main system ground, that is the water pipe, ground rods for the service panels, etc.
Most of what you say in this post is true except for the "main system ground". There is no such thing as the main system ground. All electrodes present MUST be bonded together to form ONE electrode system.
250.50 Grounding Electrode System.
All grounding electrodes as described in 250.52(A)(1) through (A)(7) that are present at each building or structure served shall be bonded together to form the grounding electrode system. Where none of these grounding electrodes exist, one or more of the grounding electrodes specified in 250.52(A)(4) through (A)(8) shall be installed and used.
The key word in that section is "the" meaning only one.
Once again I've used the wrong words..."the".
Anybody reading this for electrical help, please read jwelwctric's posts. Mine can be taken the wrong way.
This is awkward, but...
