The recommendation to keep a 30-foot distance between the surge protector and the electrical service panel is likely a precaution to ensure optimal performance and safety. Here are a few reasons why this might be suggested:

1. Over long distances, there can be a slight voltage drop, which might affect the performance of the surge protector, and the devices connected to it.

2. Keeping a distance from the electrical service panel can help minimize potential electromagnetic interference, which could impact the surge protector's ability to function correctly.

3. Ensuring a safe distance can help prevent any potential issues related to electrical surges or faults that might originate from the service panel.
