hard wire surge protector

I have a surge guard hard wired. Whether you have that or the Progressive you need to check to see how much room you have. Best place to put it is in behind your converter. Often there is a drawer or something you can remove above it to get access. Most manufacturers place converters where the rear is easily accessible since they are easier to install that way. Hopefully you have some spare floor space back there. You simply remove the main feed wires from the convertor, hook them to the surge protector and then take THE SAME GAUGE wires from the output into the place you removed the original from inside the converter.

BTW the progressive does seem to have more features than the surge guard.
