Does the SDSA 1175 Surge Arrester installation require turning off all of the power? Or, can the SDSA be installed while the power is on? An electrician installed one on our control panel in the garage, but power was never cut off. Just wondering if he did it right......
He is still alive isn't he? If so, yes.
Makes no difference. And the only thing concerning here is the electrician that did it. I assume that he was still around to collect the money from you when the job was done ? :)

Since it is just a parallel connection across active and neutral it could be done without disconnecting power - provided all of the normal precautions were employed. ie. stand on rubber mat, wear rubber soled shoes, use appropriately insulated tools, handle one wire at a time and don't touch earthed objects.
I have done similar things on my own house wiring and here we use 240Vac 50Hz with phase, neutral and earth connections. I must admit that on the odd occasion I have been a bit noncahalant about things and received a nasty whack though - but I am still here.
