Protect valuable electronic equipment with NXT Technologies™ white surge protectors. These devices prevent power surges from causing damage to TVs, audio equipment, computers, and other electronic and electrical equipment in the home and office. NXT surge protectors come in various configurations with multiple standard power outlets and USB power points. Find the right surge protectors and power monitors for any application at Staples®
How NXT Technologies White Surge Protectors Work
Surge protectors, also known as transient voltage suppressors, absorb voltage spikes created during electrical system disturbances. These are typically caused when switching large electrical loads or by power system faults and lightning. Most surges originate from outside the home, although large domestic appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and washers may also cause power surges. Surge protectors use a small electronic device called a metal oxide varistor (MOV) to absorb power surges. These direct excess energy to the power supply ground and prevent equipment damage.
Understanding NXT Technologies White Surge Protector Ratings
The rating of a surge protector determines the amount of surge energy it can absorb, measured in Joules. Ratings vary from 500 Joules up to 3,000 Joules. The higher the rating of the surge protector, the greater the protection it provides. For this reason, it's best to choose a surge protector with a higher rating, especially in areas that are prone to power system disturbances. This particularly applies to expensive electronic equipment, which deserves better protection than low-cost equipment.
NXT Technologies White Surge Protector Features
NXT Technologies make two basic types of surge protectors. One type is a wall tap, which plugs into the wall outlet providing a number of additional outlet sockets. The other type is similar to a power strip with an extension lead, except that it includes a surge suppressor. The number of power socket outlets varies, and it's best to select one with sufficient outlets for specific needs. Most surge protectors also have one or more protected USB outlets for powering and charging electronic equipment.
How to Check if an NXT Technologies White Surge Protector Is Working?
All NXT Technologies surge protectors have an LED light that indicates the surge protector is healthy and providing protection. It's important this LED is lit because a surge protector can only absorb a certain amount of energy and may fail if a surge releases more energy than the device's rating. This may happen during a nearby lightning strike or as a result of a major electrical fault. Some surge protectors have two LED lights, one to show the status of the protector and the other to verify the protector has a ground connection. Both must be on for effective protection.
Are NXT Technologies White Surge Protectors Safety Certified?
Yes, NXT Technologies surge protectors have UL certification for indoor use. This means UL laboratories have tested them to confirm they comply with the UL 1449 standard for indoor surge protective devices.
Can NXT Technologies White Surge Protectors Be Used Anywhere That's Indoors?
Yes, they will protect any 120-volt electrical device or appliance indoors provided the total current drawn from the device doesn't exceed the maximum rated current of 15 amps. The indoor rating applies to all components, including the power strip part of the protector.
