Whole-House 260 kA Surge Protector

The WUQ 260kA is a Type 2 surge protective device built for residential 120/240 VAC panels. It delivers 260,000 amps of surge current capacity using commercial-grade components tested to MIL-STD standards. Advanced multistage circuitry protects each line independently for faster response. The compact enclosure is half the size of comparable units while providing twice the surge rating.

Suits Homes Needing Full-Panel Defense

This unit covers Line-to-Line, Line-to-Neutral, Line-to-Ground and Neutral-to-Ground paths in a single install. It connects to a 20 A two-pole breaker and carries a 5-year warranty with $100,000 connected-device coverage. Buyers who need protection for a sub-panel only or who cannot access a 20 A breaker slot should consider a different form factor.

No Bundled Accessories or Software

The product ships as the surge protector alone. There are no mounting brackets, wiring kits, monitoring modules or configuration software included. Installation relies on standard breaker-panel hardware supplied by the electrician. The warranty and connected-device coverage are the only value-added elements beyond the device itself.

Questions about this item

What circuit-breaker rating is needed to install this 260 kA surge protector as a Type 2 SPD?

A 20 A 2-pole breaker is required for Type 2 installation on a 120/240 VAC residential panel.

Will the protector cover all four line combinations on my existing 120/240 V panel?

Yes, it protects Line-to-Line, Line-to-Neutral, Line-to-Ground and Neutral-to-Ground paths simultaneously.

How can I verify the unit is still active after a lightning strike?

The indicator LEDs on the front will remain lit while protection is functional; if they go dark the module has sacrificed itself.
