Skip discounted surge protectors!

Don't trust your expensive electronics to cheap surge protectors, but don't fall for marketing tricks either! Most surge protectors sold in large retail stores have a low surge protection rating (measured in joules), high clamping voltage, and no thermal overload protection, meaning a large voltage spike can start a fire. This even applies to "premium" brands. This surge protector offers a relatively high overvoltage protection of 2400+J, a very low clamping voltage of 150V, which is half that of commercially available models, and a fuse to protect against fire in the event of an accident. big surge. Installation is easy with the included mounting holes, or you can use a product like the 3M Double Lock if drilling holes isn't an option. Two plugs attached to the side of the device facilitate the use of large transformer units. Most consumer surge protectors use MOVs that degrade with use, allowing them to have a finite number of surges before they stop working. The indicator lights only tell half the protection story, so a lifetime "guarantee" against over-voltage damage to connected electronics is a great feature. Be sure to keep the necessary documents in a safe place. I highly recommend this product as it offers significantly more protection than commonly available surge protectors at a very reasonable price.
