What are the safe guards? Like short crkt protection, Over voltage protection, etc.

I don't know about extra safe as this device is a ground fault device, so I guess you may be extra safe, it's good to have. Since it's not a surge protector it's OK to plug a SP into it, hope this helps.

This unit is better than nothing against "power surges" To be fully protected. a "UPS" box might be suggested.

I am sorry. I was working on a customers safe.You can go to Sentry.com and find a technical person to answer your question.

They are not protected but all parts are replaceable at radio shack. It tells you in the instructions to only do the experiments in the order they tell you to to protect the components from burn out. Our 10 year old has had a lot of fun with it!

Nothing special needed, but always fuse to protect the system. Amazon has some install kits from Kawell, if someone is not sure what to get and they are not that expensive. This unit only has one red and one black wire, so not too complicated. Ive only used them with 12 volts, but understand they will work on 24 also. Thanks.

Hi. I can only assume that your question is due to the country you live in. If so, i must admit that i bought a power step up and step down box. This was to make sure that if I got the voltage wrong, it would not matter. It was the safest way. The actual tool works perfectly.

Just be sure your battery(s) can handle the increased load, and it should pose no threat. Everything else is protected by breakers and fuses.

Mine is on as well. I expect Steakman is correct and this just means surge protection is active.

I am not sure and perhaps someone else here has an answer, but you may consider the Intermatic IG1240RC3, which can be used on most main panels. Also, you may consider the fact that although these whole house power arrestor are an excellent way to protect your equipment, they may not be able to protect your equipment hooked up to coaxial (e.g. cable) or DSL, etc.

@ "I have them all over my house to protect big ticket items; Computers, Washer's, Dyers, Ref., Stoves, etc."Good grief John, you're protecting "big ticket" items with a low-end surge protector which is only spec'd to absorb a 1000 Joule surge? You better read up on just how little protection this unit actually provides...fine for relatively inexpensive items but not for costly things like computers, big-screen TVs and the like. Also, I'm curious about how you're using this 15A device with dryers, stoves, etc. which don't run on 110V and certainly pull more amperage than 15. @ "I have them all over my house to protect big ticket items; Computers, Washer's, Dyers, Ref., Stoves, etc."Good grief John, you're protecting "big ticket" items with a low-end surge protector which is only spec'd to absorb a 1000 Joule surge?

I use the surge protector directly to the back of each device. No loss of quality as far as I can tell.

Actually on the back it says "Surge protective devices", it doesn't say how much surge protection. It also says: "125 Vac 50/60Hz 15A USB 5V DC 3A VPR L-N 1200, L-G 1000, N-G 1000 UL No. E363654 Surge protective devices CAN ICES -3(B)/NMB -3(B)" Maybe some of that was helpful? Brenda

It's just for protection. It has a fuse, varistors, thick wiring, etc.. in it.

Just the normal precautions you take when working in your PC to void electric shock

The APC surge protector is a fail safe device. It is unusable after a surge. IT destroys it self to protect your equipment.

i would definetly use a surge protecter, some generators have them but i dont think this one has one
