Hello:

Have found just about every other type, but not what I'm after.

Anyone happen to know who manufactures the whole house type of Surge
Protectors that are round in shape, and go between the meter, and where the
meter used to plug in.

Thanks,
Bob

One example of a 'behind the meter' surge protector:

They typically cost more money for less joules.

To combine other posts in this and so many other newsgroups
into one response: may be good reason why no one will supply
parts for your breaker box. The manufacturer is Federal
Pacific or FPE. Box may be the type that has a notoriously
history. Learn if your breaker box is that dangerous type as
demonstrated here:

You might consider first replacing the breaker box.

Where I live the serving utility would not allow a surge arrestor to be
installed in that location.

Sure would like the link when you find it.
