Product Review

APC surge protectors undergo stringent testing by IEEE, and are awarded "let-through ratings", which indicate the maximum voltage level that can possibly reach your equipment after a surge or voltage spike has passed through an electric surge protector. Lower IEEE let-through ratings indicate better protection and performance. Attenuates EMI/RFI line noise that can cause data errors and keyboard lockups, ensuring better performance of protected equipment. Surge Arrest 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 the APC Surge Arrest products, most surge suppressors continue to let power through even after circuits have been damaged, leaving your equipment exposed to other damaging surges. 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 Arrest fail safe, which means that once the circuit of an APC Surge Arrest has been compromised the unit disconnects equipment from the power supply ensuring that no damaging surges reach your equipment.
