Panamax is an engineering company. Panamax equipment is tested in their lab using a 24,000 AMP lightning generator. We are a Panamax Authorized Internet Dealer and have extensive knowledge of the Panamax surge suppressor product line.
The Max Service Entrance Protector (was called primax GS13) is a whole house surge arrestor and transient voltage surge suppressor for residential and light commercial use. This is a side mount unit, and is generally used when the service panel is not recessed in the wall. Use the back mount version for a recessed panel. The Max Service Entrance Protector is designed to be used near your main breaker planel where the power enters the house. It is designed to be used after the main disconnect as a transient voltage surge suppressor, or before the main disconnect as a surge arrestor. Use before the main disconnect provides a small amount of additional protection, however, is typically less convenient to do as well. When used after the main disconnect, you will need a free 30 amp or larger 2 pole circuit beaker or lug kit.
The Max Service Entrance Protector is designed to protect your motor driven appliances against electrical surge damage, including lightning, entering through your main panel. It is designed for split-single phase panels of up to 400 Amps. The unit is weatherproof and designed to work inside or outside, wherever your service panel is located.

The Max Service Entrance Protector has two LED lights to indicate protection status, and an audible alarm to alert you that protection is interrupted.
The unit provides an easy access common grounding point for signal line primary protectors (cable and phone).
For the best protection, Panamax also recommends installing point of use protectors for your valuable equipment, especially electronic equipment. This will protect you from surges of any origin (for example surges inside the house, or surges through the phone line). The Max Service Entrance Protector (or ANY other whole house protector) is not designed to protect sensitive electronics, it is designed to protect motor-driven household appliances. No so called whole house protector is really suitable for electronics protection in home theater systems. |
