Is this transformer secured to the breaker panel box thru a knockout?

Mine is nowhere near the breaker box. Rather, it's up in the attic attached to one of the beams.

Yes the transformer terminal outlet has a male conduit type thread with a locknut to connect to a box. It also has foot flanges with holes so it can be mounted on a stud or similar.

well it could be, it's secured through a 1/2 inch size knockout, (with the appropriate nut)..... if you wanted it to be in your breaker panel, you could do that but you might want to check the local codes for your area, as it seems that some recommend it's own electrical box.

No. It needs to be snug enough to hold the prongs together and not slip out.

This unit is better than nothing against "power surges" To be fully protected. a "UPS" box might be suggested.

that would have to be answered by a qualified electrician , mine was hard wired direct to the panel box

No... It's Class II protection of electric shock. Is not subject to any limited power characteristic. It defines, that all touchable parts of equipment areisolated by double or reinforced insulation.

Yes. Its one of those transformer/converter plug with a line that connects to the strip. Ready to go right out of the box.

I've installed this at my main service panel and I believe all appliances are protected. I no longer do electrical work as a career, therefore I would contact the manufacturer for exact specifications. You know CYA.

Not particularly. And a bit of advice..have someone install it or look at it. It may need rewired. Mine did. The transformer was faultily wired and burnt up the ground wire in the light. Thankfully my ceiling tile isnt wood.

Yes it does. Be careful as the plastic around the two mounting keyhole slots on mine is very thin. I broke through it when attaching this box to the existing outlet.

Mine is direct wired into the panel box to it's own breaker and left on all the time. You need to have a qualified electrician do the install.

No. It is designed to be wired direct and securely attached by a ceiling junction box.

How do you know the transformer is okay? That is about all this unit is. A transformer and probably a capacitor or 2. The leads that connect the outputs to the transformer are internal, and unless your fence was hit by lightning, there would be no reason for them to be broken. Either that or in the process of connecting your fence, you twisted the terminals in the Fi shox box and therefore twisted the wires off internally. Without having the unit in my hands to test and check, that is all I can tell you.

If a circuit panel has 'blank knockouts' (usually below existing breakers) there is room for more breakers. The knockouts are removed to make room for the new breakers. However, there must be two knockouts for the surge protector, ONE FOR EACH SIDE OF THE LINE. If you don't know what that means, get an electrician.

I would think so, there is no easy way to open up the device in order to verify, but I can tell you the thing is not heavy at all hence I would think there is no transformer inside.

It's not. Fuse but a circuit breaker. It's under the white looking part of the panel.

There is no "knockout" on the cover, but you could easily drill a hole into the plastic and run the wires through there. If you are lucky enough to receive your lights with unbroken bushings that hold the lights in place, the unit allows for at least 90 degree swiveling of the lights in two directions, so you can top-mount or wall mount. There is no need to do drill holes if nothing inside is broken.

Yes. The interior rectangular piece that you can see in the image attaches to the outlet box first and then the cover plate attaches separately over the top of that -- basically just like an electrical outlet, except in this case you can use low voltage boxes rather than a regular outlet box.
