I’m wiring a type 2 surge protector and want to surface mount it on the drywall here with the cables going into the drywall and then into a breakout in the panel. What kind of conduit elbow can I get to hide the wires entering the drywall that will screw onto the threads on the surge protector? Thanks

    Thanks! I lost about $6000 of equipment last summer to a nearby lightning strike so I needed to get something installed. Still considering a type 1 device before the panel as well

      audiophile?

      Lightning probably induced current on the bonding/grounded conductor. There is an integral path from the earth to the grounded conductor then on to your devices.

        I think it mostly came in on some outdoor cat6 that didn’t have a surge protector. Should have used fibre but too late now. Broke my TV and AV receiver, network switch, multiple computers (only the network sockets were broke though). And it also broke the pool pump and pool lights which are stupidly expensive.
