I am sure this is one of very few Mitrex users in the US. Me personally I have never run into one, and I have been active in this market for over a decade. Alternatives international suppliers, who offer similar Active EX protection systems and who actually are based in the US are available if you need them. I hope things work out for you.

Hello Rick,

I do not think that Mitrex is actively selling their products in the US, and if they are I doubt that their products will be NRTL approved.
