2.2 About Your Surge Power Strip (SP187A) or Surge Suppressor
(SP211A or SP215A)
The Surge Power Strip and the Surge Suppressors are designed to protect
equipment that is sensitive to the destructive effects of power-line transients
and noise on electronic and electrical circuitry. However, they are not
lightning arrestors and do not protect equipment in the rare instance that
lightning actually strikes the site's service entrance or antenna.
Each unit is 100% tested before packaging.
The Surge Power Strip and Surge Suppressor units are electrically rated
at 15 amps, 120 VAC, 60 Hz. 15 amps is the maximum current for the
entire unit, not individual outlets.
