So I was tired last week, needed an whole house SPD, so ordered one off of Da Zon without paying enough attention.
This is what I ordered...
It came today, started opening the box...It didn't look right to me, starred at it for a second...Hey, where's the Siemen's logo?
Oh there isn't one...
This is the real thing....
As you can see, almost identical looking. They even use the same model numbers in their specs.
The counterfeit one says it's UL 60335-1 listed, which is a general listing for appliances. Where as the Siemens one says it's UL / cUL 1449 which is specific to SPDs.
Yes, this one is going back.
