Surge protector that can handle 1,200W continuous?


Recommended Posts

Plugged in a portable AC and the power strip lasted only 10 minutes. I guess I need something more heavy duty. Anyone know where to get a surge protector capable of 1,200W continous load?

Well I just bought a 4,000 watt surge protector off Aliexpress. Let's hope it acts as a buffer for the socket in case it draws too much current for the wiring.

OK - so that would hopefully protect equipment from transient high (like really high) voltage.  It will have zero affect on current - that's what the circuit breakers are for.

 

Edit:  Actually, watts has nothing to do with surge suppression.  Maybe it has a 15 amp fuse in it?
