Review on APC Protector SurgeArrest Essential PE76 by Aaron Collins

APC 6-Outlet 1080J Surge Protector with USB Charger Connectors, SurgeArrest (PE6U2) I bought two 2017-11. for $9.88 each and another purchased in 2018-02 for a net price of $10.87 including coupon. to earth, neutral to earth). It's not as good as the best 400V rating I've seen on other surge protectors, but still good (I've seen 600V and 800V ratings too! The lower the better). There is no label on the back to indicate that the device has been independently tested to UL 1449, so I'm guessing it's only rated to 500V to UL 1449. ". (ANSI C62.41) to characterize a surge arrester." I agree! Forward voltage was renamed VPR in the 3rd edition of UL 1449 (September 2009). I agree that a low pass voltage or VPR voltage is more important than a very high joule value for a surge protector, but unfortunately the current marketing trend for this and other models is not for the right angle connector of the VPR.6 cable with low Advertising profile is good. IMHO 1080 joules is enough. Lifetime Guarantee. Made in China. I've been using the USB charging ports fairly regularly for the past 5 months with no issues. I usually charge 1 smartphone at a time, sometimes a tablet as well. Very satisfied with the product. Good deal, especially when the price drops to $10! 1 star deduction for lack of promotion of 500V rating and apparent lack of independent lab testing to verify UL1449 rating.
