Surge Protection for Generator

Description

Power Surge Protection

Lightning strikes and utility switching can cause voltage transients and power surges in the electrical grid. These surges travel through  distribution lines and into your home or business, damaging sensitive electronic appliances and shortening their life. Many transients go undetected, but overtime, contribute to sudden and inexplicable failures of electrical equipment. Products that are susceptible to damage  include mobile phones, computers, televisions, appliances, smart home devices and even lighting fixtures.

Generac’s whole-house surge protection device (SPD) helps protect against these damaging surges and transients by blocking them from  entering your home or business. It has thermally protected MOVs (metal oxide varistors) that help reduce risk of thermal damage, while it’s  compact, weather-resistant design offers installation flexibility.
