High Performance Surge Protector Series and
the Perma Power
®
Computer Grade Surge Protector Series include
a wide range of solutions for point-of-use surge protection
applications. By dissipating and diverting excess voltage, Sentrex
and Perma Power surge protection devices keep your critical
systems functioning properly.
Electrical surges are present in every AC power system. They
can penetrate a facility via AC, telephone, and communication
lines, or on any other wires that enter a building. Surges and noise
are also generated inside a building by fluorescent lighting, office
machines, electric motors and HVAC equipment. Surges can strike
once a month or hundreds of times a day, destroying data and
damaging valuable hardware.
Sentrex High Performance Cord-Ended Surge Protectors provide
maximum protection for advanced electronic equipment. Perma
Power Computer Grade units provide excellent point-of-use surge
protection for personal computers, fax machines, home electronics
and appliances.

WHY DON’T WE SPECIFY JOULES?
The Joule rating does not provide an accurate indication of the robustness of a surge
suppressor. The Joule rating is energy over time and it is very easy to artificially inflate
the Joule rating by changing the time base. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE), as well as the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA)
both warn against using Joules to compare surge suppressors.
A much better indication of the robustness of a surge suppressor is the Nominal
Discharge Current (I
n
). The Nominal Discharge Current is a rating of the current surge
current the surge suppressor can handle for 15 surges and still remain functional. This
rating is independently verified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the rating is
required to be marked on the surge suppressor.
In fact, UL requires that the surge suppressor must have an I
n
rating of 3kA or it is not
suitable for installation closer than 30 feet [10m] from the service entrance. All of our
surge suppressors have an I
n
rating of 3kA and can be used anywhere in the building.
When comparing surge suppressors, don’t be fooled by the Joule game. Look for an I
n
rating of 3kA to be sure you are getting the best in surge suppression.
