Is it "grounded"?Those things won't take a surge too well if you "grounded" it.  It putthe word in parentheses because most installations I've seen theground wire is really a giant antenna.

It's simple. You went from bad to worse!

Roland · Answer

Z-1100? Just another POS!Oh yes. I mentioned to someone I yanked one. I saw it came back. I can't remember who wanted it (or why for heavens sake).

That's bull.  Z1100e's are bulletproof.  I have never seen a betterpanel in it's day.  They are terrible as far a transient voltage - butthat can be controlled somewhat.  DONT GROUND IT.

And in this part of the country where there is lots of lightning plenty of them got barbequed.

Roland · Answer

Yes, but you have to deal with rotten insurance adjusters telling the poor end user that they don't need the repairs you have written up (and signed a goofy "lightning damage affidavit"). I stop them by saying "oh since your so certain there is no problem you and your company won't mind signing a waiver that states you'll be responsible for any losses that occur from a failure from this damaged system?" They always cut the check after that. Insurance companies and insurance adjusters, pure vermin. (no offense to any other vermin of any sort intended by the comparison)
