| The APC SurgeArrest Essential Series represents the minimum level of surge protection that every computer and home electronics should have, with most models providing surge protection for your phone lines as well. Its state-of-the-art circuitry offers protection for sensitive electronic equipment against larger surges and multiple surges. |
-
IEEE pass ranking and compliance with regulatory agencies
APK surge protectors go through rigorous testing by the IEEE and receive a "pass rating" that indicates the maximum voltage level that could possibly reach your equipment after a surge or surge has passed through the electrical surge protector. Lower IEEE leakage ratings mean better protection and efficiency. The APC Essential SurgeArrest Series offers optimal performance with a leakage rating of less than 330V for North American products and a rating of less than 15 for products sold worldwide.
-
Lightning and surge protection
To prevent damage to your equipment from power surges and spikes.
-
Noise filtering
Apart from EMI/RFI line noise which can cause data errors and keyboard jamming, providing better performance for protected equipment.
-
Electrical installation malfunction indicator
This LED informs users of potentially dangerous wiring problems in the wall circuit.
-
Fail safe mode
Almost all other surge suppressors continue to leak power even after their circuits are damaged, leaving your equipment exposed to future surges. APC surge protection is fail safe, meaning that once the APC SurgeArrest circuit has been compromised, the device disconnects the equipment from power, ensuring that no harmful surges will reach your equipment.
-
Protection against catastrophic events
SurgeArrest components, such as the MOV and thermal fuse, provide instant response to lightning strikes and wiring damage. If the surge protection components fail due to a power surge or overvoltage, excess power cannot reach your equipment. Unlike APC SurgeArrest products, most surge arresters continue to conduct energy even after the circuits are damaged, leaving your equipment exposed to other harmful surges.
-
Protection of data lines
Protection of data lines (Ethernet, coaxial and telephone lines) provides complete protection of your equipment from surges. It is very important to protect your equipment from "back" electrical surges traveling through data lines, as these can be just as damaging to your equipment as surges traveling through power lines.
