Selecting the Right Equipment
There are a number of companies that sell quality surge suppressors such as
Sutton Designs, APC, and Panamax. When you are looking for a surge
suppressor, consider these things.
n
Expect to pay at least $50 for a good quality surge suppressor.
n
The surge suppressor should be a UL 1449, 497, and 1283 listed for
surge suppression, modem surge protection, and RFI/EMI noise
filtering respectively.
n
The surge suppressor should have diagnostic LEDs that verify good AC
ground, proper wiring, and proper surge operation. On/off switches
that light are not recommended since they can produce electrical noise.
n
The Joule ratings should be a minimum of 480 Joules for the AC surge
circuit.
n
The Joule ratings should be a minimum of 240 Joules for the modem.
n
The modem surge circuit should present low capacitance to the modem
line or it will slow the transmission rate. Capacitance should be
specified at less than 50 picofarads.
n
Quality surge suppressor manufacturers generally offer a lifetime
warranty.
n
Consider obtaining a protected equipment coverage policy which
insures the equipment in the event of surge damage.
n
The devices that will be attached to the computer also need to be surge
protected.
