Surge Guard: InstallED

Surge Guard: installed.

Had some demonstrable Knowitall remark about “code violations”: exposed terminals and being underneath plumbing without an enclosure.

I asked him to cite which codes applied…to this enclosed space inside the service cabinet of an RV.

**silence**

Bless his little heart.

Although, in fairness, I should have some strain relief on the cable and could have done a better one-handed strip of the cable and conductors.

Surge Guard install…

Next up on the To Do list: install a Surge Guard and its remote monitor.

I was planning on installing it near the inlet, but the only suitable spot would’ve been flat, with the label facing up. With the terminals facing upward, anything landing in there could cause an arc…and other assorted unpleasantness.

So, we’ll find a better spot this weekend and also see about leaving ourselves enough space to later install a transfer switch.
