does anyone know the clamping voltage for this surge protector?
136804
The Surgearrest 3020J clamped a 600-volt spike down to 160 volts. See http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-surge-protector/.

The clamping voltage is 160V. Here is the link to the manufacturers website http://www.apc.com/site/support/US/en/product/P11VT3/ so you can see the let through voltage(clamping voltage) is <40, which is where the 160V(120V + 40V = 160V) comes from. Here is a link if you want to do some more reading about the UL 1449 3rd Edition standard: http://static.schneider-electric.us/docs/Electrical%20Distribution/Surge%20Protective%20Devices/9910-0001.pdf

The clamping voltage is 400v on L-N and 500v on L-G and N-G. The clamping voltage is NOT 330v (best) as incorrectly listed in one popular review and on APC web site. On close examination on their box, there is zero information given other then the Joules rating (which is the first clue something is afoot). If you open the box and check the back it lists the clamping voltage as listed above, not the 330 volt clamping voltage commonly misreported. PS clamping voltage and let through voltage are not the same thing. Clamping voltage is the max voltage let through (ie 330v with 330v clamping or 500v is it has 500v clamping (very poor)) let through voltage is the difference between the maximum allowable normal voltage (~170v) and the clamping voltage ie 330 on a good protector which would give you a let through voltage of 330-170= 160v over max normal voltage. In conclusion APC website and popular review are not correct / and or misleafing. The surge protector offers poor surge protection. Loot for a better one with a 330 clamping across all three lines, has a high joules rating for longevity 2000+. There are other important factors, but those are the biggest two, and I don't have the space to discuss further. Educate yourself and be warry of devices and companies that don't put their specs on the box as is the case with this unit/company.

I do not know as I bought it for 120 V. However, I called the phone number of the supplier and they had a tech guy that answered all of my questions.

Operating voltage ranged from 10V DC to 30V DC.Juts find a fuse that can stand a draw of 15A and then there you are.

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.

Label on the side says, 115vac/60HZ 2.5 amps. I don't have my clamp on meter here to give actual.

I am not sure, I threw packaging and surge protectors away some time ago. They worked for me for a short time-One was powering my computer,printer,router etc. The other powered my surveillance system dvr, with 8 cameras. They didn't last, and when they were 'working' it turned off many times, and I'd giggle the cord to get it to turn back on...I'd go with a different brand, but it's up to you..

330V. The link provided by another user has a table of info and the "clamping voltage" is listed as "UL 1449 TVSS Rating" which is 330V for this unit.

I have no idea about voltage. But I use the regular wall socket. Nothing extra ordinary

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

I would call tech support. Not great phone manners, but informative. I would highly recommend a surge protector. I replaced 4 circuit boards in 5 years. $$$

at 75% i believe it was still at &gt; 12amps because it was tripping my 12 amp surge protector

I have been asked this before. There is no information on the package regarding voltage.

This surge protector is for 120V, not 240V like in many other countries. I'm sure the warranty apply if you use it for 240V, as that will ruin it. I'd find out the voltage being used in your overseas destination.

No. I believe 220 has a different plug entirely (like an electric dryer) & I believe all Panamax surge protectors have a range of cutoff (like above 130, below 110). I have another one of their units connected to TV, stereo, etc which gives a voltage reading and it stays a pretty constant 117-119. A couple times I caught it dip (brown out) and it dropped to around 110, then shut off TV. Go to Panamax.com and look through their products, check the videos too. I actually had my computer plugged in to the sample that caught fire (Belkin), bought the Panamax next day. They're good products, I've been happy and feel safer with them. But no 220. Maybe on website they have something. Hope this helps.

CHECK THE ATTACHED LINK, IT STATES 40,000 IT HAS A WARRENTYhttp://www.officespecialties.com/innovera_71651_wall_mount_surge_protector_6_outlets_2160_joules_184720_prd1.htm

I'm sorry I am not familiar with the voltage. I would suggest asking the seller of the product. Thank you.

No it should not you may have bigger problems check to see if you have power or your surge protector is tripped
