Residential Surge Protection

Residential Surge Protection surge PRODUC TS What is surge? „ Electrical surges are sudden and unexpected spikes in voltage that travel throughout your home/office electrical systems. „ Some surges come from within your own home/office, such as turning on a vacuum cleaner or sending a document to your printer. Other surges come from outside your home, as in electric utility switching, downed power poles, cut power lines, and lightning strikes. Surge can even enter through cable televisions and telephone wiring. Why do you need surge protection? „ A five-year survey of power quality in North America indicates that per household there are 35 disruptive or destructive power disturbances per year. „ Deregulation of the electric utility industry is expected to decrease the quality of utility power in the near future. „ Annually, 30% of power outages are lightning related. „ Five percent of all insurance claims are lightning related, amounting to over $1 billion per year. „ These electrical disturbances can ruin or severely damage motor driven appliances, electronics, disrupt satellite signals, degrade the performance of sensitive audio/ videocomponents, and wreak havoc with telecommunication systems. It's far less expensive to invest in protection than it is to replace costly appliances. How to protect your home? The first line of defense is the POINT OF ENTRY where electricity enters a home through the main electrical service panel, where surges and voltage spikes from lightning strikes enter the electrical system. POINT OF ENTRY protection devices, or surge arresters, drive surges to ground before they can enter the premises providing WHOLE HOUSE PROTECTION! „ Includes (2) 1-pole circuit breakers „ No loss of load center spaces „ Perfect for retrofit „ LEDs provide protection status „ Notifies homeowner of loss of surge protection by tripping the circuit „ Easy to install „ ECONOMICAL PROTECTION Circuit Breaker and Secondary Surge Arrester Catalog Numbers Amperage QSA1515/QSA2020 15 Amp / 20 Amp Initial Clamping Level Transient Energy Rating Peak Current Rating (impulse) Circuit Breaker Interrupting Rating Secondary Surge Arrester Listings/Certifications 360 Volts 920 Joules line-to-line 40,000 Amperes 10,000A,120/240 Volts AC 175V AC max. line-to-ground UL, CSA Tiered protection plan: „ Protecting with the surge arresters at the point of entry „ Enhanced protection on electronic equipment at the point of use Product Electrical System Connected Equipment 2 years $10,000 — 16 and up 8 to 16 4 to 8 2 to 4 1 to 2 0.5 to 1 0.25 to 0.5 0+ to 0.25 Lightning density maps provided by Vaisala-GAI (formerly Global Atmospherics), Tucson, Arizona.
