What is the clamping voltage for this surge protector?
88872
I'm sorry I don't know what clamping voltage is. I can say that I have all 7 plugs in use with a tv, sound bar, sub woofer, uverse box, a modem and a few other things. I haven't had any problems. all my important electronics is on the surge

Thank you for responding to my question. Clamping voltage is supposed to be below 400 (lower is better, I guess) and is the threshhold of voltage that trips the surge protector into protection. I just couldn't find any number that corresponded to that description and am hoping someone else knows where to look. This link explains all about surge protectors: http://lifehacker.com/how-to-choose-buy-and-safely-use-a-good-surge-protect-1405568999 It was very helpful in general - just couldn't tell me about this surge protector's specifications.

No, this surge protector is designed to clip voltage spikes. It will not provide voltage regulation. I recommend, however, that you do not ignore the severe voltage swings as these high and low extremes could be detrimental to your electrical equipment

Yea, I would assume. I used it to protect a PID controller. Standard outlets are 15a at 110/120v and you pick the fuse to go in it. 1a to 15a fuses... work fine for me

Go to campingworld.com and they have the specs on many of the surge protectors.

I have no idea about voltage. But I use the regular wall socket. Nothing extra ordinary

It's not dual voltage, but I use it for my CPAP machine and bedside clock. It protected both during a couple of power surges and outages.

Funny that you asked me this question... I am an Electrician by trade, and I have No Idea about the DC low Voltage on this perticular component..? I just matched it with the other 4 GB Ram memory board that came with the pc... I can take a reading, and get back with you on this, but normally I wire homes dealing with AC Electrical Current...

Just follow manufacturer's recommendation or try to plug through a surge protector and see if there's any difference. Please post the results.

A 110v surge protector is not going to take 220v well. You need a 220v surge protector and if you use an adapter, you need to make sure you get one that connects the ground.

This surge protector is warranted for life. The Underwriters Laboratories rating of this surge protector shows Maximum Energy Dissipation: 4320 Joules H-N: 3600 Joules H-G: 360 Joules N-G: 360 Joules Maximum Spike Current: 252,000A H-N: 196,000A H-G: 28,000A N-G: 28,000A UL Clamping Voltage (3-Line): UL 1449 400V Response Time: &lt;1 nanosecond (&lt; 1 billionth of a second) EMI/RMI Noise Filtration: 150kHz-100MHz up to 50 dB Reduction UL Listed to US and Canadian Safety Standards: UL 1449, UL 1363 The EFI/RMI components evaluated to the applicable requirements with UL 1283 NOTE: All UL information taken from retail product package. Warranty document references transient volltage device protection. I hope this information is what you need to make a purchase decision.

Why are people saying this has a clamping voltage of 500V, when the product description says 330V?

It is a 3 prong connection. Plugging into a 2 prong adapter may defeat the purpose of the surge protection

I wish I could help. Here is the spec sheet on it and there is no information on the amp rating, just the surge protection. http://media.accobrandspartner.com/datasheets/datasheet2012.aspx?sku=K62634&language=us&country=us&sow=1&hrp=1&brandID=6

Actually on the back it says "Surge protective devices", it doesn't say how much surge protection. It also says: "125 Vac 50/60Hz 15A USB 5V DC 3A VPR L-N 1200, L-G 1000, N-G 1000 UL No. E363654 Surge protective devices CAN ICES -3(B)/NMB -3(B)" Maybe some of that was helpful? Brenda

I don't recommend exceeding the specified maximum amperage rating of the protector. You will damage the surge protector.

Like another write said....forget joules...look at clamping voltage and get 300 or less volts. This has 500 and is almost worthless since most failures from a power company transformer can hit you with 440 and that took out everything in my house including a well...surge protected TVs included. Luckily if your handy with a screw driver and a soldering iron you can change the MOVs in most electronics and the device with work just like new...or leave take it out and you have it working but with no protect next time. This strip uses movs and one hit and it will be gone.

so what's the voltage of this "low-voltage" device? 12VDC, 12VAC, 24VAC, 24VDC, 48VACDC? 78volts?
