Preventing electrical surge damage has
traditionally been left to the consumer to guess at what to do. Do you
buy a 20 outlet plug strip with a million dollar warranty? Do you spend
time running around the house unplugging everything in sight? Or do you
just do nothing and rely on your homeowner’s policy to cover any surge
losses that may occur? You don’t do any of these; instead you protect
your investment using proven protection principles applied to
industrial/commercial facilities that protect equipment valued in the
millions.
Zoned surge protection for
industrial/commercial facilities uses common sense techniques and heavy
duty surge protectors geared toward eliminating harmful surges.
1.
First surge protection is
applied to the incoming power, cable, and telephone services.
2.
Then at key locations
throughout the facility, localized protection is provided to safeguard
against residual surges coming from the main service and any internally
generated surges.
To apply this type or protection for
the home, surgeassure™ developed Total Zone Protection, which consists
of dividing your home into three zones. Specialized surge protectors are
designed for each zone location:
Main Zone
Protection stops surges before they
enter the home and make up the first line of defense. Applying these
units knocks down high energy surges making Interior and Exterior Zone
protector’s job easier. These units come with a 10 year/$100,000 warranty
for “white appliances”. Refer to the warranty section of this site for
detailed information on what is covered. All main zone protectors should
be installed by a certified electrician.
Breaker panel Protector
This unit is
the heart of industrial protection for your
home. We’ve included features not seen in
the marketplace until now. As the main line
of defense, it prevents high energy surges
from ever entering your home – and provides
the best defense for white appliances like
your dishwasher and dryer.
Utilizing
technology used in our industrial line, the
Panel Protector utilizes suppression
elements called metal oxide varistors able
to withstand surges trying to enter your
home up to 40,000 Amps. In addition, we’ve
included safeguards only found in more
expensive industrial units.
Our parent
company,
APT, is an industry leader due to
superior products and service. All
APT's products deliver superior performance
while leading the industry with patented
safety circuitry. This know-how helps us to
achieve one of the highest safety ratings
for residential suppressors. On top of this,
our unique Ground Status Monitoring
ensures optimum performance throughout the
life of the unit.
For electrical
equipment to function properly, neutral to
ground voltage need to be as close to zero
volts as possible. Over time, their
connection may wear away or weaken, and
voltage between neutral and ground could
increase beyond zero volts. You may have
experienced this type of electrical fault
before. When operating stereo equipment, you
hear a constant hum. The hum could be the
result of a bad neutral to ground
connection.
Our
Ground Status Monitoring sees this
change and alerts you by activating its
intermittent audible alarm and flash the red
fault light. If this occurs, don’t panic,
turn off the breaker feeding the protector,
and call Surgeassure™.
Main
Telephone Protector
Main Cable
Protector
Imagine a
watermelon traveling down inside a garden
hose. That is exactly what happens when a
power surge travels down the telephone/data
or cable lines. It
turns out that telephone and cable line
surges suffer an overwhelming majority of
all surge induced damages where the
equipment was thought to be already
protected but had a back door such as an
unprotected modem or cable line. Network
interface cards, in particular, can be
destroyed by relatively mild spikes.
Point of use equipment incorporating
cable/telephone protection is needed to
protect sensitive equipment. However, these
devices are not designed for or don’t have
the room to utilize robust protection.
Installing our telephone and cable
suppressors at the incoming line makes the
point of use protector’s job easier.
Insurance claim statistics show video
equipment surge damage as the most common. Our family of
interior zone protectors reduces this possibility for not only
for video equipment but for home office, appliances, and other key
items in your home. No longer will you have to run around the house
to un-plug everything when there is a storm. Complete protection is
achieved when Interior and Main Zones are installed.
Home Theatre 8 outlet point-of-use plug-in
As more and more homes
transform their standard TV and VCR to a full fledged home theatre system, surge
protectors for these new systems need to be upgraded.
surgeassure™
’s 8-outlet product is designed to protect the modern Home Theatre systems by
incorporating features that weren’t present in similar devices manufactured a
few years ago such as increased surge current capabilities, BlockSpacing™, and
thermal fusing.
Home Office 6 outlet point-of-use plug-in
UPS
The Home Office UPS offers
battery backup and surge protection for the home office. Small businesses
can’t afford to loose data. With enough power outlets to protect your entire
system, built-in phone/fax/modem line (DSL compatible) protection, and
easy-to-install safe system shutdown software make this power protection
solution ideal for home offices.
Secondary TV/game system 6 outlet plug-in
point-of-use protector
For TV’s in the bed rooms
and gaming systems in the kids room, this device provides ideal protection for
these items without having an extra cord. It mounts over the wall outlet secured
with a center mounting screw.
Also available without Coax TV/video device
"F-type" connector (click here for details).

refrigerator, appliance, and garage door
Exterior Zone – Irrigation and lighting controls
Single outlet plug-in point-of-use protector

protecting your Air Conditioner, Pool equipment, and Irrigation controls from
remnant surge voltages left over from the main panel, entering equipment outside
your home.
