Overview
Not a plug-in power strip, this Square D device is a surge protective device meant for a residential load center. It works alongside surge protection plug strips and shields sensitive electronics from surges that reach the panel.
Choose it to cover washers, dryers, refrigerators, stoves and air conditioning, which plug strips may not or cannot protect. Several spec fields, such as outlets and a voltage entry, do not fit this device, so rely on the title and description.
Who it's for
A house with a single-phase residential service and valuable appliances suits panel-level protection. Renters and buyers who need an outlet-level strip should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Protects hard-wired appliances
- Works with plug strips
- Five year warranty
- Instruction bulletin included
- Installation details not listed
- Not a plug-in device
- Outlet and port fields do not apply
- Voltage field reads 600 volts
Performance notes
The device works at the load center and diverts surge energy before it reaches branch circuits, which is why it can protect large appliances that plug strips cannot. Plug strips then handle whatever smaller surges remain. The surge current rating sets how much energy it can handle per event.
