Siemens QSPD2A035B 35 KAmp BoltShield Indoor Surge Protective Device

A whole house surge protector just seems like a no brainer, when you consider all the stuff you have in your house. I went with this one because it fits into my Siemens panel box, G3030B1150. I am not certain if it is required but I moved it as close as I could to the main as possible. The interlock switch kept me from making it the first. The surge protector installation is pretty simple and the only issue was moving breakers to make space for it. There seemed to be a little more tension placing it in, requiring more force. There is no LED indicator and only two small windows that shows green. This is normal, even though there is competing documentation that indicates there is an LED. I guess it is working because with a surge protector, you never know until you need it. Like insurance you just assume it will work when time comes. Siemens is a good company so I trust it will come through when I need it. The stickers on the panel box are there because my daughter liked the pictures. They made her smile...enough said.

I wrote an earlier review saying this product did not work after I bought it and installed it. I was wrong. The product did work fine and I did not realize that until I bought another one and then installed it and still the light did not come on. Asking other people I found out that that light does not come on unless the device experiences a surge of power and then it does what it's designed to do, and that light will come on to inform you that it had experienced a surge. All in all the product is simple to install and it is a quick fix to add a search protector to a home.

Great product and price

It’s difficult to know if it works because nothing should happen. Nothing has happened. So that good.

These are easy to install and is need to protect the appliances and all electronics.I stacked 2 of them together to double my coverage which is allowed and recommended.I also put one in my sub panel to spread out the protection.

You have to be kidding me with this product. I am a electrical contractor, so I am required to install these type of devices. This one is a joke. No LED to show if it's active or correctly installed. Could be easily counterfeit for all I know. Supposedly a red led lights up if it needs to be replaced, but I don't know anyone psychotic enough to open and inspect their breaker panel on a daily basis.

This Item Does Not Have Any lights or LEDs in it, so don't worry if it doesn't light up. It does Not Need any lights or LEDs in it. It is not a circuit breaker, and will not "trip" like a circuit breaker, and then can be reset. The indicator window is only that, a viewing window. If the windows are Green, then the device is working properly. If one or both of the windows are red, that means the device has faulted, and manually flipped the indicator color in the viewing windows. Plain and simple, if this device lights up then you have a major problem. Just trust me, I'm an Electrician and install these all the time. Also, there is No Way to test these unless you want to send a surge through your power meter over what the device is rated for. Go ahead and do that while you blow up everything in your house at the same time. Again it's a surge protective device SPD that operates according to voltage fluctuations, and Not a circuit breaker which operates due to the amount of amps being used. They are completely different things.

This surge protector is as easy as installing a 2-pole AFCI breaker. If you're comfortable with that task, you can do this. Obviously, be safe when working with electricity, but this is a pretty quick and easy way to get whole house surge protection. Plenty of videos online to show you how. Unlike the ones that install through a knockout, this one only fits Siemens load centers as far as I know.

Siemens BoltShield mechanical failure indicator a green flag indicates operational the red flag no longer protection and the device need to replace no LED on this surge protector simple to install closer to a main breaker is the best protection.

Product was delayed in shipping. The company gave me a partial refund. Very quick response. Happy buyer. It fit perfectly as well.

Fait sont travail

Easy to install. Assume it is working.

This is a good device if you want an easy install. It’s not compatible with every brand of electrical panel but doesn’t require an additional breaker. It’s not the highest ratting but should be able to do the job.
