How many Joules of surge protection does this CP 1000 provide? Thanks.

Sorry for the delayed response. I do not have the means to measure the surge current capability of the product, or the number of joules that the product can provide. You just have to contact the factory for this type of info. I am conservative in powering the equipment, the UPS is used to power TV, DirectTV DVR, PS3 and a network hub. Total power is less than 500W.

I have the CP1500PFCLCD UPS. The CP web page [http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/products/ups-systems/pfc-sinewave-series/CP1500PFCLCD.html?selectedTabId=specifications&i;mageI=#tab-box ] lists Surge Suppression @ 1,030 Joules for that model. If your interest is in a different model you can check it out on the CP site detail specs are listed for most or all models.

Surge Suppression 1,030 Joules - this info is extracted from http://www.cyberpowersystems.com specifications.

The product description on the Aeotec website mentions surge /over current protection to the following levels: Max. Joules: 650Max. Surge Current: 6000V/3000A. I dont see a problem with plugging in an additional surge protected strip.

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.

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

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

Rated watts: 8000 W. Surge watts: 10000 W. Frequency: 60 Hz. Outlets: (2) 120 V (20 A) AC, (1) 120 V (30 A) AC, (1) 120/240 V (30 A) AC, (1) 120/240 V (50 A) AC receptacle. Voltage regulation: automatic for "computer safe" operation.

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

kwh is 100th, amps 1000th everything else 10th. (at least in my application which is checking power draw of computer and a/v equipment to make sure adequate ups power is supplied)

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

That is a excellent question. I assumed that they are since the surge would come from the AC 120 volt source at the outlet. I would think that the surge would hit the protection first before it could pass through the outlets. The JOULES rating of the device is not very high in the first place so the protection is minimal but is better than none at all. I purchased it because the prongs for the outlet fold up into the back and makes a nice compact package. The USB chargers work great also. I run my WIFI hot spot off one of the USB ports continually. Mediabridge makes excellent products. A really good surge protector would not be very portable and is bulky. The higher the JOULES rating the larger the protector and the higher the cost. Sorry for rambling but surge protection is a long complicated topic. Harold

Quite frankly, I am not really smart enough about surge watts and the like. I use my capacitor for a 230 volt 4 ton air conditioning condenser. So, I do not know if that relates what your situation is.

I suggest you contact the manufacturer for your answer. Personally, I would only plug those units into a 15-20 amp dedicated wall socket with GFCI protection. I use this surge unit for my computer, monitor, external hard drives, wireless router etc. with excellent results.

I have "whole-house" surge protection so I wasn't concerned with the capability of this unit. However, since you asked, I went back to the instructions that came with the unit. Under "Protections" it states: "USB circuits are equipped with over-load and short-circuit protections." That's it.

Go to campingworld.com and they have the specs on many of the surge protectors.

The product description claims that the strip offers over-current protection, though I have not had any power surges that have tested the strip. I currently have it plugged into a surge protector and I am having no problems.

The LC1200 will provide spike and surge protection and voltage regulation for equipment up to 1200 watts. As the workstation is 550 watts, the LC1200 will cover the power draw.

Yep, it's supposed to do. See the details pane: 2160 Joules of protection *7 surge-protected AC outlets
