ABSTRACT:
A meter extender surge suppression system that fits between a utility meter and a meter box is provided to protect downstream equipment from surges on the electric power lines. The system includes an operation indicator light that reliably informs the operator whether the surge arresters are fully operational in all ambient light conditions. The invention includes a two-piece housing. All circuit components are mounted on portion of the housing to simplify manufacture and testing.
