Surge- Protect your Home & Electronics + Elevators
Added Residential Elevator Protection
Sentrex® PA Series surge protection devices protect your sensitive electronic equipment from external or internal transient activity.
All PA units are approved for indoor or outdoor use and feature all-mode protection. Units provide excellent protection when placed at branch panels or at specific pieces of equipment. They can also suppress external surges when mounted at the main service panel.
Also, the PA120T are ideal for installation in residences to protect the entire home infrastructure, including expensive home appliances and home theater equipment.
- Protects electronics and appliances: Surge protectors defend against sudden voltage spikes that can damage or destroy expensive electronics like computers, TVs, and refrigerators. A whole-home system protects everything, including hardwired items like HVAC systems.
- Extends the life of devices: Even small, frequent surges can slowly degrade electronics. A surge protector maintains consistent voltage, which can prolong the life of your appliances and devices.
- Enhances home safety: High voltage can cause wiring to overheat, leading to electrical fires. Surge protectors minimize this risk by diverting excess voltage and can prevent short circuits, sparks, or other hazards.
- Provides peace of mind: Knowing your home and valuable electronics are protected from unexpected power surges offers a sense of security, especially during thunderstorms or grid issues.
- Saves money over time: The upfront cost of a surge protector is less than the cost of repairing or replacing damaged electronics and can prevent costly repairs to your home's wiring.
- Safeguards the electrical system: A surge protector shields your home's wiring, outlets, and switches from damaging voltage spikes, which helps maintain the integrity of your home's electrical infrastructure.
Despite the following statistics, surge protection is one of the most overlooked safeguards....when installing a panel for your home or office.
An estimated $250 to $500 million dollars refrigerators with touchscreens, computerized per year is lost from property damage caused washers, dryers, ranges and HVAC equipment, yet by severe weather, lightning, electrostatic discharge, let them operate largely unprotected from surge. switching of inductive or capacitive loads and
internal/external switching transients.*
-
Approximately 60 to 80% of all transient voltage surges are generated from inside a home or building; Only 35% of transient voltage surges stem from
an outside source.** -
Analysts estimate U.S. consumers spend billions annually on “smart” home appliances,
• 84% of homeowners feel power strips provide adequate protection for computers, HD TVs and other electronic components. Only 20% of these same homeowners understand that these strips degrade over time, rendering them inadequate for surge protection.***
