We’re proud of you for being proactive and using protection…for your gear. How many Joules of surge protection you need depends on a few factors like: What type of electronics you are protecting How often you experience power surges How long you want your surge protector to last But...
And how do you know if the one you have is good quality? The main job of a surge protector system is to protect electronic devices from "surges." So if you're wondering what a surge protector does, the first question is, "What are surges?" And then, "Why do electronics need to ...
So how do surge protectors work and when you need them? And how do you know if the one you have is good quality? The main job of a surge protector system is to protect electronic devices from "surges." So if you're wondering what a surge protector does, the first question is, "...
The joule rating indicates the total amount of surge energy a surge protector can absorb before failing. Higher ratings mean better protection and longer device life. For computer equipment, look for at least 2,000 joules of protection. Each surge event depletes this capacity, which is why regu...
(sometimes referred to as the clamping rating). Because while the joules will give you an approximate measure of how much surge energy the protector can divert before it reaches its end-of-life, the let-through rating tells you how big a surge the protector will let through before it ...
It’s critical to plug a surge protector into a properly grounded wall outlet. Using a three-to-two prong adapter does not count. Otherwise, it won’t be able to protect from surges like it’s meant to. Joules aren’t everything. Be sure to equally consider both the clamping voltage ...
Nearly 20 years ago I developed what I refer to as myRV essential itemsand my nice to have items, for RV camping trips. Today I want to discuss my top 5 RV essential items you need to have on every RV camping trip. Both of these RV checklists, and many others are in my best-sel...
