As the name shows, the surge protector can prevent a sudden increase in voltage loss equipment. A low-end type of surge protector is definitely not a power strip although they are similar. The power strip is only an extension cord and cannot protect the device from surges. In general, a qualified surge protection device has a "surge protection device" label in an obvious position, and the price is slightly higher than that of general power strips. In addition, the surge protection device will have a Joule rating, which is not available on normal power strips.
In general, the characteristics of the surge protection device are different based on the different surge protection device uses. However, high-quality surge protection devices have the same characteristics as follows.
1. They have a large protection flow, extremely low residual pressure and fast response time.
2. They adopt the latest arc extinguishing technology to completely avoid fire.
3. They adopt a temperature control protection circuit and built-in thermal protection.
4. They have a power status indicator, which can indicate the working status of the surge protector.
5. They have strict structures, which can work stably and reliably.
In some special cases, a good surge protection device will also have better performance. For example, a surge protection device should be replaced if it loses protection function after being worn out. A surge protection device with middle quality will continue to provide power to the equipment without protection, but users are completely unaware of this. However, the high-quality surge protection device will actively cut off the power supply to remind users to replace it. In this way, the device can always be in a protected state.
