I appreciate the help from everyone. I think I will talk with Chris at BPT, but I have also reserved a Eaton Cutler Hammer whole house surge protector at Electric Supply Company of Milford (NH) and will pick it up on Saturday. I've put in my own PB 20 for the box disconnect for our generator so I may try to install the surge protector myself depending on how complicated the directions are (Not too bad based on what I read on line--one wire to the hot bar, one to the neutral bar, one to the ground and one to each of the circuit breakers, although the manufacturers PDF indicated a dipole 20 amp circuit breaker as opposed to 2 20 amp single pole breakers). It may be that I don't need a line conditioner as much as voltage regulator as Gbart suggests. Then again maybe I should just get some PV cells on my roof and give PSNH the obscene half of the peace sign. And yes the Duraace is a reference to the Shimano gruppo I have on my old school Eddy Merckx titanium EX bike.
Any experience with BPT clean power center
Does anyone have experience with a BPT clean power center? I live in semi-rural NH, which, while beautiful, gets power from Public (lack of) Service of NH (PSNH). As anyone familiar with them knows, PSNH pays it's holding company (Northeast Utilities) CEO $8 million, but can't keep the power on for 30 consecutive days, not to mention the power surges tripping the surge protecters and the intermittent brownouts. I'm lucky my generator is reliable. A dedicated line didn't help and moving is not an option. I have an Arcam AVR 400, Music Hall MMF 5 turntable, Arcam CD 93 player and Wharfedale Opus 2-3 speakers, solid mid-fi stuff, but exotic conditioners are neither warranted nor in the budget. Helpful suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
