POWER PROTECTION
Your electronics endure thousands of
spikes and surges. Predicting when a killer surge will occur is impossible, so
early installation of protection is your best bet. It's important to have a
3-way surge protection (SurgeStrip plus™) against
surges because they can originate outside or inside your facility.
SURGE ARRESTORS
LIGHTNING is the
most obvious source of a power surge, but not the only culprit. Cycling of Air
Conditioners, Generators, Motors and Appliances can also produce damaging
surges. With 3 levels of protection, all of your needs will be covered.

Surge Arrestors: (SurgeStrip
Plus)
A surge arrestor is the initial step
for whole protection because it safeguards all hardwired equipment (light switches,
heating and air conditioning systems, ceiling fans, etc.) which usually cannot
be protected by plug-in surge devices.
Surge Suppressors:
Surge suppressors are the second stage
of interior defense. Most suppressors resemble power strips with outlets and
protect equipment such as computers, TV s, telephones and
audio/video systems and other telecommunication equipment that is
particularly sensitive to moderate surges.
Suppressors work by absorbing some of
the electrical surge and diverting the rest to ground. That is why all plug-in
surge suppressors have three-prong plugs and receptacles. If you cut off the
suppressor ground pin to make it fit a two-prong wall receptacle, you will
block its effectiveness.
Power surges are limited to electric
lines. If you have cable or a satellite dish, you should consider a surge
suppressor that also protects telephone and cable lines.
Power Strips & Cubes
(1) . Plug in devices cannot protect your complete electrical,
telephone and cable systems.
(2). Plug in devices cannot balance
individual system grounds at outlet.
(3). Cannot protect hard wired equipment such as air conditioner
compressors, well pumps and furnace motors from surge damage.
(4). Many
are limited to 6,000 volts ... not enough for complete protection by
themselves.
(5). Often require replacement after
significant power surges.
(6). Must install at locations
throughout the home.
SURGEBREAKER PLUS
(1). Designed to
handle electrical surges over 20,000 Volts and up to 60,000 Amps of surge
protection. Meets UL 1449 2nd Edition.
Install and forget. Robust design
allows for repeat typical surges. Modular Design allows for component
replacement on surges exceeding ratings.
(2) . Protects ENTIRE house electrical, telephone and cable
system and offers Balanced common ground protection
between systems.
