I have a customer with a less than 1 year old rooftop HVAC unit. I havent seen it, but they tell me the FLA of the unit is 22amps at 575 volt. In the last few months, they have lost 3 circuit boards in the unit. I was not part of any troubleshooting, not have i ever seen the unit. The manufacturer is telling them that it must be voltage surges that is causing the boards to go bad.
They want me to recommend and install a surge protector for them.
I have never done any work with surge protectors. Would it be best to install a protector in the load center (protecting the whole panel), or should I install it at the HVAC unit (parallelling the fused isolation switch with another fused switch feeding the protector)?
