how many joules is this surge protector?
328327
Why are people saying this has a clamping voltage of 500V, when the product description says 330V?

Like another write said....forget joules...look at clamping voltage and get 300 or less volts. This has 500 and is almost worthless since most failures from a power company transformer can hit you with 440 and that took out everything in my house including a well...surge protected TVs included. Luckily if your handy with a screw driver and a soldering iron you can change the MOVs in most electronics and the device with work just like new...or leave take it out and you have it working but with no protect next time. This strip uses movs and one hit and it will be gone.

3996 according to the posting on Amazon, I haven't received mine yet, just ordered it on Friday. I do have the larger unit and it has been through several severe thunderstorms without a problem. It handles a large flat screen TV, 4 games systems, an all in one printer and receiver without any problem.

Tripp Lite's website specs say: "UL1449 let through rating 400, 500, 500", so if my understanding of surge protector-related stuff is accurate, this little unit is probably not the best choice for sensitive and/or expensive electronics like computers, TVs, etc... I use mine for cordless phone charging bases and microwave ovens.

It does not need a surge protector and just plugs into a 110 volt electric socket. But overseas outlets may be different and require an adapter. Need to research wherever you are going to be.

It weighs 14 pounds. I don't believe it is a surge protector in the usual sense of the term, but it does regulate - that is, it keeps the output voltage constant over a range of input voltage. I use mine as a bench supply for powering older German electronics (110 to 220 conversion.)

306 joules. For further assistance, please email support@satechi.com. Thank you, Satechi Technical Support

1,500 watts/5,000 BTW 12.5 amp. Plugs into a regular wall socket. Find this in the expanded description. Energy efficient rating.

I assume you can, although I have not tried it. It is a low end surge protector so I'm not sure if this will give you the joules you need.

The Surgearrest 3020J clamped a 600-volt spike down to 160 volts. See http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-surge-protector/.

No problem as long as the power supply is rated same as the surge protector. 120v in and 120 volt out.

Thanks for answering. Do I need a different surge protector for Italy than the ones we have in USA?

The manufacture of any legitimate surge protector will design and test their device for surge clamping capacity and will generally express this in Joules. Generally the higher the number the better the protection but it gets complicated after that. The point here is that the manufacturer had not done that for this model and that might mean they have not tested it or don't want to tell us. The newer model 36036 is sold by Amazon and does include Joule rating and it is quite good for this price range and design.

The only actual data I have is that the label says 120/240V 50/60 Hz 0.6A. Now, that could be as high as 144 watts. I can absolutely assure you that it consumes nothing even remotely like that. I can't unplug the switch now to measure, but I can tell you that the case is just barely perceptibly warm to the touch. I would guess something in the neighborhood of 2 - 3 watts.

This surge protector is warranted for life. The Underwriters Laboratories rating of this surge protector shows Maximum Energy Dissipation: 4320 Joules H-N: 3600 Joules H-G: 360 Joules N-G: 360 Joules Maximum Spike Current: 252,000A H-N: 196,000A H-G: 28,000A N-G: 28,000A UL Clamping Voltage (3-Line): UL 1449 400V Response Time: &lt;1 nanosecond (&lt; 1 billionth of a second) EMI/RMI Noise Filtration: 150kHz-100MHz up to 50 dB Reduction UL Listed to US and Canadian Safety Standards: UL 1449, UL 1363 The EFI/RMI components evaluated to the applicable requirements with UL 1283 NOTE: All UL information taken from retail product package. Warranty document references transient volltage device protection. I hope this information is what you need to make a purchase decision.

Most likely because the typical 120 volt home wall outlet that you would be plugging the surge protector into, is only rated foe 15 amps

I have it on my 200 amp service at my house. I'm afraid I don't have the technical knowledge to answer your question. I do know that this has saved my new appliances from frying in the last electrical storm.

It is a 3 prong connection. Plugging into a 2 prong adapter may defeat the purpose of the surge protection

Didn't notice a UL sticker on back either, just as stated earlier only has a QC sticker. The material included states that it has six outlets rated to a cumulative total of 1875 watts and is equipped with a built in fuse T3.15A/250VAC - Also the USB circuits are equipped with an over-load protection and short-circuit protection
