I have an Eaton surge protector (BRNSURGE) installed at my house but my subpanel which is about 30 ft away is a square D brand and only protected by the upstream SPD. Can an electrician install the HOM250PSPD surge protector on that panel? I understand that I only need one, but will this cause a problem? I ask because the square d SPD seems to have much better specs. Is two better than one when the main panel and subpanel are different brands? The house is 3 years old. Thanks.
