Personal SurgeArrest
APC branded - offers affordable surge protection ideal for small office and home equipment.
Protection
Lightning and surge protection:
SurgeArrest's components, such as MOVs and thermal fuse, ensure instantaneous reaction to lightning strikes and wiring faults. If the surge components are damaged due to power spike or over voltage, excess power cannot reach your equipment.
Unlike APC's SurgeArrest products, most surge suppressors continue to let power through even after circuits have been damaged, leaving your equipment exposed to other damaging surges.
IEEE let-through rating and UL 1449 compliance:
IEEE tests simulate a surge of 6.000 volts, such as in a direct lightning hit. Let- through rating indicates the maximum voltage that will reach your equipment when suppressed by a Surge Protector. Lower let-through rating indicates better protection. UL's best available rating against devastating surges and spikes is 330V of let- through APC’s Personal SurgeArrest has 300V let-through voltage, thus exceeding UL's requirement.
Data-line protection:
Of DSL, modems, fax and answering machine data lines (T models only) ensures complete protection of your equipment from surges. It is very important to protect your equipment from "back door" surges travelling through data lines, as they can be as damaging to your equipment as surges travelling over power lines.
Catastrophic event protection:
An MOV reacts instantaneously to lightning strikes and other spikes. A thermal fuse shuts down safely if there is a wiring fault.
Noise filtering:
SurgeArrest attenuates EMI/RFI line noise that can cause data errors and keyboard lockups, ensuring better performance of protected equipment.
Safety
Catastrophic event protection:
An MOV reacts instantaneously to lightning strikes and other spikes. A thermal fuse shuts down safely if there is a wiring fault.
Fail safe mode:
Most other surge suppressors continue to let power through even after their circuits have been damaged, leaving your equipment exposed to future surges. APC's Surge Protectors fail safe, which means that once the circuit of an APC Surge Protector has been compromised the unit disconnects equipment from the power supply, ensuring that no damaging surges reach your equipment.
Protection working indicator:
SurgeArrest will warn you if its circuitry has been damaged by heavy strike or power line surge and it is unable to provide 100% protection. If still under warranty, APC will then replace your damaged SurgeArrest free of charge.
Site wiring fault indicator:
In order to work properly, surge suppressors require a correctly wired and grounded outlet. APC surge protectors identify dangerous wiring problems before you plug in your equipment.
Convenience
Transformer block spacing:
8 outlet models offer dedicated space to accommodate wide transformer blocks without covering adjoining outlets and 2 always on outlets. You can plug 8 power cords including 3 transformers at the same time. In case you have equipment that has to stay on all the time, such as a fax machine, you can plug it in always on outlets. The equipment will be protected and will have power supply even when the unit is switched off.
