X10 switches, modules and transmitters are delicate electrical components designed to work at 110V. 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, X10 modules 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 X10 components in your home adding one of the whole house surge protectors below will give you a good insurance policy against costly damage to both your X10 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 X10 system. LEDs on the panel show operation status. The Leviton Whole House Surge Suppressor can be surfaced-mounted or flush-mounted in-wall in a 6"x 6"x 4" cutout. 5-year warranty.
