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 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 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.
