Surge Protector Series offer a wide range of
solutions for communication closet, rack, and cabinet
applications. By dissipating and diverting excess voltage, a
Sentrex or Perma Power surge protection device keeps
your critical systems functioning properly.
Surges can strike once a month or hundreds of times a
day. They can penetrate a facility via AC, telephone, and
communication lines, or on any wire that enters a building.
Surges and noise are also generated inside a building
by fluorescent lighting, electric motors, HVAC equipment
and office machines. If left unprotected, sensitive
communications equipment and valuable data can be
damaged or destroyed.
Sentrex and Perma Power rack mount and CabinetMATE
surge protectors provide advanced protection for critical
electronic and communications equipment. They are an
integral part of the Sentrex Zoned Approach to whole
building protection.

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.
