Product Description
Whole House Surge Protector
Bad Wolf Home Surge Defender 240VAC
Modern homes are filled with sensitive electrical devices and appliances. Electrical surges can cost thousands in damage to these devices if not protected correctly.
Bad Wolf surge protectors prevent high energy transient voltage spikes similar to those produced by Lightning, EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse), and solar flares from damaging electrical and electronic equipment. Our products also protect electrical equipment from all the standard causes of internal and external surges like compressor start, Grid line variations and more.
Due to the small size of the Home Surge Defender, it may be mounted inside of the service panel for easy installation. Optionally it can be mounted external to allow for easy status verification. It is recommended that the SPD be mounted using a dedicated double pole circuit breaker closest to the main disconnect or power entry connections. It is also recommended that the circuit breaker being used is 20A current rating or higher.

Complete Whole House Surge Protection
Home Appliance Protection
Protect your home and appliances from surges. Protects home inverters, chargers, computers, and more.
Solar Panel Protection
Designed to work with PV (Solar Panel) systems for both permanent or portable systems. Can be installed in line with micro-inverters, standard inverters, combiners, and transfer switches. Verify correct operating voltage.
Generator Protection
Protect your home and generator from electrical surges with one simple to use device.
Wind Generator Protection
Prevent dangerous electrical surges from damaging regulator circuits and more.
Home Lightning Protection
A typical Lightning discharge is about 30.000 Amps, with some of the strongest ever reported up to 200,000 Amps. Using cutting edge technology we are able to provide a device with 260,000 Amps of surge protection.
Internal and External Power Surges
Electrical surges can enter your home from the electrical grid during heavy line loads and branch switching during power outages. Internal sources can come from large appliances like your air conditioner and refrigerator switching on and off.
Solar Flare (CME) Protection
The sun often has surface explosions that project plasma which in turn causes huge magnetic fields. These CMEs then impact the earth causing damage to electronic devices and computer. They disrupt the power grid causing too much voltage to enter your home and damage your electrical devices.
EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) Protection
A burst of high power electromagnetic energy that varies in frequency. When the waves of the EM field pass over electrical wires it can induce current flow in those wires. This EM field produces damaging over voltage situations to electrical devices.

Full House Protection
(Electrician) picked this product and said it would offer me whole house protection. He installed it in the outside panel and the installation went smoothly. My first Electrician recommended a $600 product that offered less protection.

Very Impressed
After replacing 2 run capacitors on the fridge, and one on the HVAC unit, the defining moment for us was having to replace a $2200 control panel on our BOSCH HVAC unit after multiple power off/power on issues. With the last incident when they they recharged an electrical line after a tree fell on it about a mile from our house the electrical surge fried the control board and tripped 5 circuit breakers on the panel. We did ALOT of research, and finally decided on the Bad Wolf whole house surge protector. Very impressed with the product, ease of installation and customer support. In the picture 20 amp double pole is marked with blue painter tape. We did shut off the power to the house, and double checked to make sure nothing was powered. It’s so easy. It has 4 wires, white goes to neutral. Green to ground and the other two to the circuit breaker. Took 10 minutes from start to finish. My husband wanted to use a 40 amp double pole, and we contacted customer service (Dan) who promptly responded and advised that the recommended 20 amp was preferable. So it is installed with the 20 amp, and will mount to the wall after it is painted. I love the fact this is veteran owned, and that a quality operation is important to them (and me). We now have peace of mind. Totally recommend!

Excellent quality and value.
I’m very pleased with the quality of the product, good price, and that it’s made in the US. I would buy again from Bad Wolf.

Great product
It was easy to install, seems to be working but I’ll never be sure until there is a voltage spike of some sort. Other products are more expensive and do not offer as much protection so I appreciate the price, great value for money since it has a surge rating of 260ka (according to the package).

Solid build quality, great specifications and easy to install
I installed this SPD inside the breaker panel. Will rely on the 20amp 2 pole breaker to trip to tell if the unit suffered a surge. Easy to install yourself, if you know what you’re doing inside a breaker panel. I added a 15A tandem breaker to make room for the new 2 pole breaker for the SPD..It seems well built yet still small enough to fit inside the panel. Provided it absorbs the surges like intended I highly recommend it.

Installed by a girl!
I installed it within 20 minutes. I’m not an electrician. Took my time because it was a panel. So easy. You just need a double pull 20 amp box to insert. Home depot. Turn off the main breaker and follow directions.We will see if it works when we need it. I trust Veterans and knowledge to build!

Easy Install Great Support
Solid Built product. I had several tech questions so I called the Bad Wolf Company and spoke to Dan.Dan was very helpful and knowledgeable, he answered my questions after asking me questions about my application. I came across a situation where I had to call him back the next day and Dan was very helpful.
