Rating TOP 7 best surge protectors

DEXP Optimus FP 418

FP 418 B, providing overvoltage protection, is suitable for connecting various models of office equipment and household appliances. The device is equipped with 4 Euro sockets. The maximum load current is 10 A, and the maximum absorbed energy is 125 J. These parameters make it possible to connect not only computer equipment to the filter, but also household devices that consume significant power. The surge protector is equipped with 2 thermal breakers.

The device is switched on and off with a convenient button. The fact that the filter is turned on will be informed by the power indicator, which is mounted in the power button. The mains filter housing is fireproof: it is made of self-extinguishing polypropylene. The black color of the filter housing will match the design of most computer and peripheral devices. The surge protector is packed in a box containing information about the operation and characteristics of the product.

A good surge protector, copes with the computer! In the future, it showed itself as a completely acceptable device. Pay special attention to this and do not forget to force employees to check the device for operation before purchasing. Recommend.

SVEN SF-03L

SF-03L has everything you need to provide electrical power to the equipment at one workplace. The device has 3 sockets, to which you can, for example, connect a monitor, a system unit and a printer. The line filter provides limitation of impulse noise. The thermal interrupter is “working” as a means of ensuring the safety of the connected equipment.

The mains filter housing is black, which will match the design of most models of currently produced equipment. The filter can be wall mounted. To do this, you will need to organize 2 attachment points. Filter housing dimensions - 175x40x52 mm.

I have been using it for almost six months a week, everything is fine, a monitor, a computer, a lamp are connected, everything works stably without any complaints. I did not find any malfunctions, the black color looks stylish, especially the rims next to the entrances. For this price - EVERYTHING is OK!

Defender DFS 603

The DFS 603 is a functional device for maximum safety in use. The model received six F-type output sockets, which all computer and household appliances have plugs for. With a convenient master switch, you can control the power of all connected equipment with one click. The filter is designed for networks with a rated voltage of 220 V. The operating frequency of the device is 50 Hz, and the maximum load current is 10 A.

I did not choose this device for a long time, I just came to the store and bought what I liked.Quite sturdy and weighty construction. I bought it for the computer. I liked one fact - the switch is slightly recessed into the body of the device and it does not loosen during operation, you cannot accidentally turn it off, otherwise it often touched it with a foot and turned it off on the old one. There is a reusable fuse in the design. Everything is cool, I am satisfied.

ERA S-BF-5es-2m

SF-5es-2m-B is an extension cable well suited for connecting computer and office equipment. Designed for the simultaneous use of five outlets, equipped with a two-meter cord. The material of manufacture is high-quality black polycarbonate, resistant to sunlight and mechanical damage, manufactured according to all GOST parameters and fire safety. The device is manufactured in Russia.

The presence of curtains is also pleasing, it is relevant for families with small children or animals (when my cat walked through my old networker, I was constantly worried that he would not climb into the hole with a phase with his claws and become a fluffy light source). Good quality plastic. There is fastening to vertical surfaces (through holes for fasteners). Not a bad device, you can take it.

APC SurgeArrest P43-RS

The P43-RS is designed primarily for just that because of its capabilities and technical characteristics. The filter has a non-standard cable length - one meter. The wall mount allows you to conveniently position the device.

After eliminating interference or faults, the sockets can be reactivated by changing the position of the switch. The indicator light has an LED sensor that allows you to determine if the filter is working even in bright daylight.

Just a good filter with no bells and whistles. Dense, made of pleasant material, moderately long. Home for a computer is the most it. There are few outlets (which makes the filters cumbersome), and a lot (so that there is enough for everything). Keeps well, never crashed. In general, I liked it, the power button is a little tight. If you accidentally touch the plug, the plugs will not fly out, the power will not switch.

Pilot S

The filter will protect equipment from high-frequency interference, the negative effects of sudden voltage surges, as well as from lightning discharges. Shock-resistant, non-flammable housing of the device ensures stable operation of the device and reliability of its design. The five-meter cable allows you to place a surge protector anywhere in your apartment.

Good build. Forks in the sockets hold securely and do not dangle. 5-year warranty. "Eternal filter". Once I bought it and if it breaks down in 5 years, then it can be returned under warranty for repair. There are no significant drawbacks. This is probably the best model from the Pilot, but what's really there, the best surge protector. It does its job perfectly well, and if you want real protection against power surges, buy a stabilizer!

APC SurgeArrest PM5-RS

The filter is able to absorb bursts and noise and compensate for them. Reduces the likelihood of equipment breakdown, which is especially sensitive to the parameters of electric current. The device works from a network with a voltage of up to 230 V.

All sockets are turned on through one switch. There is a working mode indicator for user convenience. One of the nests is located a little further than the others. It is designed for large power supplies so as not to block access to another outlet, not to create additional inconveniences.

Great stylish filter. Disassembled - everything is done correctly.There is protection against voltage surges (arrester), overheating (thermal fuses) and over current. Of the shortcomings - the wire does not hold in the grooves. Therefore, if the filter lies on the floor, the cord falls out all the time and falls under the case, which makes it crooked and wobbly. It turned out to be uncritical for me, because I hung it on the wall.

Best lists

We will highlight the leading devices in each selected category with a separate selection, namely:

• Affordable price - Garrison EHLW-4.
• Longest cable - Pilot L.
• With USB connector - Defender DFS 755.

Affordable - Garrison EHLW-4

What to look for when choosing

When purchasing such a device, pay attention to:

1. The number of sockets for forks. This determines how many devices can be connected to the filter.
2. Availability of protections. Refractory fuse, thermal protection, rectifier system at the input - these features help prevent damage to the electrical system under adverse conditions.
3. Cord length. It is recommended to take models with a cable of two meters or more.
4. Nominal permitted load. Pay attention to what kind of peak load your filter can withstand (according to the instructions). It is advisable to leave a margin of 10%.
