How KEC is installed?

Installation must be done by a license electrician. To do otherwise voids the warranty. The KEC is attached to the top 220/240 volt breaker/200amp service.

By installing the KEC in this location, you are hitting both sides of the bus bar in your panel insuring amperage surge protection.
