  • 1x - Leviton 51120-1 Panel Mount Whole Home Surge Protector and Supressor
  • More Info

    The Leviton Branch Panel Mounted transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS) devices have been designed to protect residential as well as small commercial establishments from high voltage transients. Standardized J-Box metal enclosure with prepunched standard size knockouts simplifies flush mounting in typical frame construction environments, and provides convenient connection means to existing branch panels. Some of the features are:

    Additional Features
  • Tested to ANSI/IEEE C62.41 standards
  • Single high-energy solid-state semiconductor surge suppression circuitry per phase
  • Real-time diagnostic visual indicator shows power and suppression status for each protected phase
  • Each phase provided with independent thermal fuse protection
  • Feature a low VPR to ensure protection of sensitive electronic devices including LCD TVs, PDAs and computers
  • Standard J-Box enclosure with pre-punched standard knock-outs can be easily surface mounted in typical frame construction
  • Internal DIN rail module provides for easy replacement (on Type 1 outdoor unit only)
  • All versions are compatible with Leviton Decora Home Controls

  • Protection for whole-house lighting control systems
    While this whole house surge suppressor is great for protecting computers, TVs and other electronics, it can also protect against damage to lighting control systems such as INSTEON, X10 or Z-Wave. Voltage spikes of several hundred or even thousands of volts generated by outside sources do occasionally occur. We know of customers that have had several X10 components fail simultaneously for no apparent reason except for one clue, home control components that happened to be plugged into a surge suppressor/surge protector power strip were still functional.

    If you are going to be using a significant number of remote control light switches in your home adding a whole house surge protector will give you a good insurance policy against costly damage to both your home control system and other delicate electrical equipment in your house.

    We recommend that whole-house surge protector units be installed by a licensed electrician.

    This latest version of the Leviton Whole-House Surge Suppressor has greatly increased surge handling capacity. This surge protector unit is an essential component when installing an extensive whole-house lighting control systems. LEDs on the panel show operation status.

    Excellent service and product, fast delivery
    BRIAN F. -- ranchos de taos, NM   4/27/2013
    Our elecrician was familiar with this particular unit, gave it the highest rating in comparison to other similar units. It only took him 30 minutes to install to our main elect. panel box.
    BRUCE -- dublin, OH   4/18/2013
    Easy to install; will have to wait for surge to see how it works
    ATL Home Owner -- atlanta, GA   4/13/2013
    My wife and I have purchased this product today. Last week we had a bad stormed that damaged our refrigerator. Prior to that, we had to replace our HVAC unit, washing machine and two TV and one computer due to the location of our home near a electrical home terminal line. The power company told us they are not liable for surges, spikes and brown-outs. That being said, we proactively taken action to protect our appliances. We hired a professional electrician to do the install. Hopefully this will help us this summer.
    JOHN -- belen, NM   3/31/2013
    We have a lot of terrible lightning storms in the summer. In 2006 lightning struck very near our house. There was an instantaneous flash/bang. Luckily we didn't have a direct hit. As it was it knocked out our doorbell transformer, our telephones and our irrigation controllers. We also have a lot of very expensive electronic equipment. I had the suppressor installed the day after I got it. The electrician thought it was a good buy too.
    DONALD -- portland, OR   3/28/2013
    The rating is on the order and company. I hope it never has to work. Price and service we're top notch.
    ROBERT -- van buren, AR   3/18/2013
    We haven't installed it yet.
    JOHN -- frisco, TX   12/30/2012
    Easy to install. Gives a new sense of security in today's age if electronics.
    DIPTOTECH -- frisco, TX   12/29/2012
    So far a great product. Not sure if I will be able to test it out till a surge happens but my sales experience with smarthome is great. Product was as advertised.
    Mark from NY -- sebastin, FL   12/22/2012
    Purchased this product last week. My electrician said it was a better price than he could get it for. They shipped it fast and it seems to work, time will tell.
    DOUGLAS -- porter rnach, CA   11/7/2012
    Good product, good price, quick delivery
    STAN -- gordonville, PA   10/28/2012
    Very pleased with purchase and delivery of product. Relatively easy to install on side of breaker panel. Only question is the surge ratings are not complete on front of unit. Still wonder if this is capable of 50kA surge.
    CURT -- bellevue, IA   9/29/2012
    Great product.
    MARK -- woodbridge, VA   8/12/2012
    Easy installation.
    WILLIAM -- los osos, CA   8/3/2012
    This is the third one of these I have purchased. One of them died in the line of action, saving my home from catching on fire. The other one continues to do its job in a rental building. The order was done swiftly and accurately.
    BRANDON -- polk city, IA   7/16/2012
    Product came fast it was the cheapest price I could find online. Install took about an hour for 2 of them since I have 400 amp service.
    RICHARD -- waldheim, SK   6/13/2012
    Quick delivery.
    TROY -- houston, TX   4/28/2012
    Easy to install, quality construction at a great price point. Cheap insurance in the long run
    PETER -- port ludlow, WA   4/15/2012
    This is intended to be mounted in a stud space adjacent to the main circuit breaker panel in a residence. It also could be surface mounted. It is supposed to be connected to two single pole 20a circuit breakers which are on different phases (every other row of breakers are alternating phases in most residential panels). The instructions say that it can be connected to existing breakers, paralleling exising loads. I chose to add two new breakers specifically for the surge arrestor. The unit was as advertized and the price was the best I found. Shipping was fast also. Whether it protects against voltage surges, It's hard to prove a negative. Leviton is a venerable and respected brand so I hope it will do its job.
    NEAL -- conway, AR   4/13/2012
    Easy straight forward install.
