The Newpoint Surge Protector Provides Peace Of Mind
Modern homes are full to the brim with expensive and delicate electronic equipment, the value of which can be truly staggering. If you have a lot of electronic devices in your home and you do not protect it against power surges, a Newpoint surge protector could provide the peace of mind you are looking for.
A surge protector is a device, which attempts to regulate voltage from the main power supply to ensure a consistent power output to devices connected to it. Surge protectors may have only one socket or may have multiple sockets allowing multiple devices to be powered and protected simultaneously. In rooms where you have a lot of sensitive electronic equipment, the latter is far more useful. Since some surge protectors can be purchased for under $10, they really are indispensable in modern homes.
Now the big question is what is a power surge? A power surge is an over-voltage and can be caused by lightning, power outages, tripped circuit breakers and even when power hungry devices (like washing machines) are turned on or off. The over-voltage can damage sensitive components only designed to function within narrow operational voltage limits. At best, a power surge will blow a fuse but at worst it can ruin devices for good.
Newpoint surge protectors are a popular brand of surge protection devices. Newpoint produce all kinds of surge protection products. Here we will take a look at some of their products and their relative merits.
In wall surge protectors like the Newpoint 100126 are a great option for surge protecting your device. This is because they provide protection for anything ever plugged into the power outlet and manage to be fairly compact at the same time. The 100126 is rated to 300 joules and comes with a $5,000 1-year Limited Connected Equipment Warranty.
A wall mount surge protector builds upon the idea of an in wall surge protector by allowing limited expansion. This means that as well as surge protection from a single socket you can have multiple surge-protected sockets available. The Newpoint 100157 is a prime example of this type of surge protector and comes with a $10,000 1-year Limited Connected Equipment Warranty.
