Surge protection

Complete home surge protection

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. 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.

What can your customers afford to lose?

Your home could have over $20,000 worth of unprotected electronics — plus sensitive electronics within smart home systems and appliances — susceptible to damaging power surges. And some items, like your desktop drive that contains digital photos and mementos, simply cannot be replaced.

A surge is a disturbance that travels through a residential electrical power system, potentially damaging a home’s electronics and appliances.
