Description
Surge protection - protects the appliances against electrical surges and spikes, including those caused by lightning.
Overload protection (thermo switch) – cuts off electric current in case of overheating of the socket outlet caused by plugging in appliances with total power greater than 3500 W.
When the standard socket outlet does not meet your safety standards and you want to protect further your electrical appliances, we recommend the use of socket outlets with surge protection. Do you think it is wise to buy a TV, PC or other expensive appliance and not buy surge protection for a small fraction of the value of these appliances? It is up to you, but each time during thunderstorms you will be thinking about the possible damage the lightning strike can cause to your appliances. Surge protection is designed to protect appliances against electrical surges and spikes, including those caused by lightning. It attempts to limit the voltage supplied to an appliance by either blocking or shorting to ground any unwanted voltages above a safe threshold.
