Square D Universal Whole Home 25-kA Indoor and outdoor Surge protective device
Does this require wiring it to an unused double pole breaker or can you use an existing breaker? My panel is pretty maxed out as it is.

The instructions say you can "Direct Bus" connect, but you will need "Crimp Lugs" and you should secure with "Keps Nuts". These are not included. :-(
Was this Answer Helpful ?You never want to double-up connections to a breaker. Not only does it violate code, but it's also unsafe. It is not possible to make a solid connection to multiple wires in a breaker. Since my load center was already full, I purchased a SquareD QO20303020 tandem breaker. This allowed me to remove a 30a 220v breaker and provide the combination 20A 2 pole for the HEPD and 30A that I was replacing. See the pictures in my review for more information.
