The message is attached. hi, Apologies if this off-topic question is too far out for this group. ?If so, please delete and ignore. Looking for DIY construction project References? or? .pdf's ? in QEX or QST or other , for Surge Protectors ?capable of protecting a Whole Amateur Radio Shack or/&? Electronics Lab at the Breaker Panel or Sub-Panel level. ? The articles would typically list the component, have a schematic,? and the "best-practice" layouts already worked out. Of course, a number of Commercial products are available, such as the Siemens FS-140, which has good specs. These are listed as "Whole House Surge Protectors" (WHSP's). ?? An example? article of listing of such can be found here: However, the cost for the Siemens FS-140 or other modules is steep,? in the $300 to $400 range, while the actual components costs are? in the $20 range. -? Perhaps the cost of one (1) Commercial unit is not so bad for a single home, -- but with multiple buildings on a farm, and separate antenna shacks , the cost for 8 of these adds up. So,? I would like to build some myself. It is not that difficult a thing to do, and I have added MOV's to specific individual equipment myself across the L1 L2 & ground lines, ? (both internally & externally) to protect them, and that has worked out fine. But, I'd like to add a Whole Lab & Whole ham shack modules, as well as for the Antenna shacks at each breaker box. ? Our grounding rods & plates are all adequate, up to date and to code, so none of that is an issue. We are in a high lightning strike area, and the soil type is well drained, stony and conductivity is poor when conditions are dry. -- So having multiple and redundant (Whole House type )? Surge Protector modules installed at every location is what we are looking to build. Thus the request for some .pdf's of articles or their Web Reference? from say QEX or QST? or other, for my own self-edification, would be appreciated. thank you, rick An example of the insides of the? Siemens FS-14 ,? found in some random YouTube video: (MOV's are the blue discs, etc. ) |
