Hello there, we have problems with Voltage fluctuations, where the voltage dips briefly and then comes back on right away. This causes my AC compressor many problems, so I installed a ICM Delay on Make Timer. The strange thing is that the timer does not cut out at those dips but only delays once the electricity goes off completely ( same counts for the built in delay in my Air handler thermostat. So here my question : Is this Ditek Surge Protector a solution or do I need to install something else ? Thank you so much !
You are correct, under HVAC Disconnect Install Line 5, it states to install on the LOAD side of the terminal lugs. www.diteksurgeprotection.com/wp-content/uploads/DTK-120_240CM-Plus-191130-R9.pdf

The manual says load side…. Any input? Also tech support told me load side.

You are not supposed to shorten the leads on the DTK product. I would also refer to NEC 70 on your joint and box method
Excellent
