Does anyone know if this GE THQLSURGE is compatible with Siemens breaker boxes for residential use? Will warranty be valid if I get surge damage?

It will work, but it is against code to use anything but a Siemens breaker in a Siemens panel. Exception being third party devices specifically u/l listed to work with Siemens.

Belkin SurgeCube is a surge protector for 120volt devices. I have our boiler connected through it and that's working fine. So, while refrigerator and microwave (both 120 volt appliances) should work fine, most electric dryers run on 240volts - this surge protector is not meant for that application.

I have "whole-house" surge protection so I wasn't concerned with the capability of this unit. However, since you asked, I went back to the instructions that came with the unit. Under "Protections" it states: "USB circuits are equipped with over-load and short-circuit protections." That's it.

I didn't look at the other comments before responding... sorry. More is better, opinions vary, nothing is perfect, I deemed this adequate and it insures my warranty is not invalidated for not using a surge protector. Regarding how much more you might want, here is one reference: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/everyday-tech/surge-protector7.htm

Yes, thats my model #, its 7500 surge & 6000 continuous. I used it for real the first time the other day, we lost power. Worked a dream.. really happy with it, one pull and it was running.

I'm not sure but I would highly recommend looking for a different brand. I bought two of the exact same model thinking the first was a fluke, but both had the same problem of tripping the circuit breakers every other time I used it despite having used it on an outlet/ 20 amp circuit breaker specifically designated to it alone. Then I read the reviews. lots of people having the same problem. I know it doesn't answer your question, just trying to save you the aggravation I went through.

the whole subject is confusing, it probably depends on the amount of the surge, this device can handle 3300 Jules, I am not sure what that relates to.according to this >>>http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=amb_link_429706962_1?ie=UTF8&node;=10529927011&pf;_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf;_rd_s=product-alert&pf;_rd_r=19QKWR54MDV4AK3PP4YD&pf;_rd_t=201&pf;_rd_p=2033310062&pf;_rd_i=B0000510R4you are covered but not 100%.I think you should call the manufacturer, but you will prob get fuzzy answers.Bottom line, its better than nothing at all

Not IEEE 1547 compliant which is expected in jurisdictions requiring NEC standards... Your host system should provide ground fault protection ..

Even though there is a 'Toroidial ferrite' in the unit, I doubt it will "Clean-up" the power to any remarkable degree. If your area is prone to wild variations in voltages present, (Pole transformer failing, lightning-induced over-voltage...) it should clip the high voltage surges. If there are alot of these, or especially high volts...the unit will eventually fail. (As all surge devices will) This one has a green 'Ready'-light when functioning correctly. I hope this is some help.

I agree there would probably be a better replacement for a GE or home unitThe problem would be the top. You probably couldn't use it with one that has a pause and pour feature.

If you want to meet the code you can't use GE breakers in any other panel other than a GE panel. If you have to ask this question you would probably have many code violations. You should call a licensed electrician to install the panel. good luck

You must order the Geenerac with the switch. In addition we had to change our meter box. I still don't know why.

You can Google TRC surge guard warranty. It looks like it is warranted for 1 year from original purchase. If it is OEM it is one year from original purchase.

not sure. I think at HAS A BUILT IN SURGE SUPPRESOR. HAD IT FOR 6 MOS. LOVE IT AND EASY TO USE.

Yes. Siemens breakers are interchangeable with Crouse - hind panels. They are indeed the same company now.

There was a warranty but I don't know about the compatibility, as this was purchased for a homebuilt unit.
