Transformer Block SpacingSurgeArrest Professional Features
Protection
Lightning and Surge Protection
SurgeArrest 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 SurgeArrest products, most surge suppressors continue to let power through even after circuits have been damaged, leaving your equipment exposed to other damaging surges
IEEE let-through ratings and regulatory agency compliance
IEEE tests simulate a surge of 6.000 volts, such as in a direct lightning hit. Let through rating indicates the maximum voltage that will reach your equipment when suppressed by a Surge Protector. Lower let through rating indicates better protection. UL's best available rating against devastating surges and spikes is 330V of let through. APC’s Professional SurgeArrest has 85V let through voltage, thus exceeding UL's requirement
Data-line Protection
A protection plan incorporating data line and AC line surge suppression will “bullet-proof” your system against the hazards of surges caused by lightning and electro-static discharge. Phone line surge suppression is available in “T” models. Coaxial line surge suppression is available in "TV"models.
Noise Filtering
SurgeArrest attenuates EMI/RFI line noise that can cause data errors and keyboard lockups, ensuring better performance of protected equipment.

Safety
Catastrophic Event Protection
An MOV reacts instantaneously to lightning strikes and other spikes. A thermal fuse shuts down safely if there is a wiring fault.
Cord management
To help organize power cords.
Always on Outlets
8 outlet models offer dedicated space to accommodate wide transformer blocks without covering adjoining outlets and 2 always on outlets. You can plug 8 power cords including 3 transformers at the same time.
Fail Safe Mode
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 Protectors fail safe, which means that once the circuit of an APC Surge Protector has been compromised the unit disconnects equipment from the power supply ensuring that no damaging surges reach your equipment.
Protection
Working Indicator
APCs Surge Protector will warn you if its circuitry has been damaged by heavy strike or power line surge and it is unable to provide 100% protection. If still under warranty, APC will then replace your damaged SurgeArrest free of charge.
Site wiring fault indicator
In order to work properly, surge suppressors require a correctly wired and grounded outlet. APC SurgeArrests identify dangerous wiring problems and indicate it before you plug in your equipment. (all except PW5TR)
Convenience
Transformer Block Spacing
8 outlet models offer dedicated space to accommodate wide transformer blocks without covering adjoining outlets and 2 always on outlets. You can plug 8 power cords including 3 transformers at the same time. In case you have equipment that has to stay on all the time, such as fax machine, you can plug it in always on outlets. The equipment will be protected and will have power supply even when the unit is switched off.
Right Angle Plug
Provides real installation flexibility.
