Why we recommend the pictured DITEK protector

The pictured DTK 120/240CM+ is designed for 120/240 volt split phase applications such as HVAC condensers, pumps and motors. DITEK specifies a UL 1449 Type 1 listing, a weather resistant NEMA 4X enclosure, and a diagnostic LED indicating power, ground presence and protective status.

Those are practical reasons to consider it at outdoor equipment. We confirm the electrical ratings and installation requirements for your system. It supplements whole home surge protection; it does not correct sustained low voltage, replace maintenance, or make equipment lightning proof.

Protection selected for your system

We check the disconnect, circuit and available installation space before recommending equipment. If low voltage controls need protection, that is a separate part of the assessment.
