- I show how to install a surge protector for a subpanel, Square D Homeline panel. I have seen many videos before showing how to install, but they do not follow the manufacturer's specifications and install it in correctly. In this video I show how to do it correctly.

I have a main panelboard which includes the meter and the main disconnect for 200 amps. This box has room for only 8 breakers but also has pass-thru lugs at the bottom of the box. These pass-thru lugs carry power (200 amps) to a subpanel. The main panelboard as well as the subpanel are Square D. Do I install the whole house surge protector in the main panelboard or the subpanel or both. Please advise.
Great job I enjoyed watching. I’m curious so even putting it in a sub panel protects the entire house or only partial.😁
It depends, on where the surge is coming from and where it hits in the system. Lightning will do as it pleases, and if it hits line side of this it will protect anything downhill. If it's a spike from the utility it would protect the whole house because this is the only sub panel for this condo, but the other condos are not protected unless they have their own surge protection.
