Due to the evolution of electronics and microprocessors in the home, there is a continuous challenge to provide quality (clean) power for electronic loads such as appliances, computers/home office and entertainment systems. Surges caused by lightning, utility grid switching and other sources travel on current carrying conductors throughout the home, which can affect and destroy sensitive electronic loads. Eaton offers a comprehensive family of surge products for use at service entrances. These products can help protect sensitive electronics against the damaging effects of surges.

Application Description:

Two-Stage Protection: Two stages of surge suppression are recommended to provide the best protection for electronic equipment. Two-stage surge suppression should be provided for all cables entering a home, including power, Internet and coaxial.

Service Entrance Surge Protection: Eaton’s service entrance surge protection units provide premier surge protection for AC power at the service entrance. These products provide protection for residential electrical equipment by reducing power surges to an acceptable level for surge strips to handle at the point of use.
