My Siemens main breaker is 200a, this unit will cover everything under that breaker (whole home) , or just the 2x20a breakers this replaces?

It claims its whole home. I installed this to protect the circuits for my computer and a/v equipment. But I also have a full blown whole home surge protector wired to the panel. I figured more is better.

Siemens advertises this as a whole house transient voltage suppressor. It is rated to 1000V peak line-to-line. 720J line-to-line. It is supposed to protect your entire panel.

I takes a 110 volt circuit. 20 amp circuit breaker fine. Make sure you have space. The unit is 5 inches tall.

1 breaker is in the transfer switch. it is designed as a whole home backup if sized correctly. they do offer units with individual breakers as well. please call for more information. 800.654.7440 ext109

Unit comes with 2 induction leads. Typically each lead would clamp onto one of the two service wires coming into the mains box. Assuming a residential service each of the mains service cables provides 120 VAC. To get 240 VAC the breaker takes power from both 120 VAC cables. You may use just one clamp and attach it to an individual breaker line. That will only give you the power consumption on that circuit.

The breaker is doing what it is supposed to do. That is good. It is protecting your purchase .... and yourself from a meltdown. The breaker capacity needs to be compatible with your unit specifications ..... and your wiring needs to be compatible with both. The unit will do what it is supposed to if you follow those steps. Titan will assist you with these types of questions ..... Why not trust the source ..... They don´t bite ! Bill

You have two circuits (2@ 12o Volt AC) so you need to use two breakers to protect both circuits. The idea is to discharge any excess voltage to ground as soon as it reaches the house. The breakers will have to be reset if you get a large surge.

EcoSmart website has recommendations based on usage. They also have a chart of their units with suggested whole house amp requirement. Your electrical breaker box, usually on the outside of the house, will tell you the amps that your house was wired with.Also, before purchasing I would research the damage that hard water will do to the unit. Maintenance is expensive.

Yes you can. I did this exact same thing with mine. One of my 20amp breakers was damaged during shipment and I had them send me a 15amp replacement instead. Both red and black wires are 12 AWG for both the 20amp & 15amp breakers. 12 AWG wires can handle up to 20amps. You can have to large of wire for the breaker but you don't want to large of breaker for the wire. Ex. If you had 14 AWG running to a 15 amp breaker in your main panel and wired that into one of the 20 amp breakers on this panel. You would not want to do this. Anyways, hope this helped.

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.

I put it on a single 20 amp breaker. It works great,VERY quiet. Barley noticed any increase in my electric bill.

No you would be piggy backing the breakers that's 20 20Amp breakers.They would probably fit but you wouldn't be able to use them all at the same time. This is for a portable generator10 double twentys you need a natural gas generator and a bigger box.It could be done but your generator would be stressed.

26 1/2X18 1/8 You realize this is a 240V. I don't recall for sure but I think it is 30A requiring #10 wire and breaker.

code says breaker should have one wire per terminal. It would work identically with the unit sharing a terminal, you decide.Use the one closest to the main input, usually the top most.

Sorry its not designed to do that. If your amp is tripping your breaker a lot then it should be on a breaker its self. I would first check to see what service your breaker box is on....60amp, 100amp or 200amp. Most power company prefer 200amp service and in most cases will upgrade your feed line at no charge, as long as you or a certified electrician installs a 200 amp breaker box and service to the outside. But make sure its to code or they will not do it. also see what all that breaker shuts off. It may not be your amp at all it maybe a combination of items that is drawing to much amperage. Also try replacing the outlet your using with a serge outlet so it trips the outlet first and not the breaker. Sorry its not designed to do that.

Yes it is the complete unit. If you just need the converter just swap it out as I did. If change out the complete unit you will need to use your old circuit breakers

This fits a murray breaker box and it fits in just like a double breaker. Which it is a surge protector & a double breaker, so all you have to do is take one of your double breakers or 2 single breakers out and put this in their place. Put the wires from the breakers you removed back into this breaker. Wire the white wire to the neutral ground bar and you're ready to go.
