Default Unknown object in panel.

Does anyone know what this is? It attaches to both lags, and the ground. It fits inside the panel, which happens to be a split bus panel.

Default Re: Unknown object in panel.

I don't need to know.

It is installed in the lugs intended for a single wire.

Nuff said.

Recommend removal or relocation by qualified persons.

It is probably a bypass/spike filter.

Lightening/spike suppressor.
I write them up like ML wrote, but no one wants to remove them.
Don't know if they work or not.



“Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.” - Thomas Jefferson
