Product Features
Technical Overview
The TLP808B surge protector combines high-capacity surge suppression with practical electrical safety features. Its 1440-joule surge energy rating ensures protection against transient voltage spikes, while the 1800 VA (1.80 kVA) power handling supports connected loads up to the device's rated capacity. The unit operates on standard 120V AC input, making it compatible with typical North American electrical systems.
Eight NEMA 5-15R outlets provide ample connectivity, with three outlets specifically designed for larger power adapters. The 15A resettable circuit breaker automatically disconnects power in the event of an overload, preventing potential damage to the protector and connected equipment. EMI/RFI noise filtering reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference that can affect sensitive electronics.
Relevant factors for this section include Receptacles, Input Voltage, Power Handling, Surge Energy Rating. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

FAQ
What is the surge energy rating of the Tripp Lite TLP808B?
The Tripp Lite TLP808B has a surge energy rating of 1440 joules. This rating indicates the total amount of surge energy the device can absorb over its lifetime, providing protection against voltage spikes that could damage connected electronics. Higher joule ratings generally offer better protection, making this unit suitable for safeguarding sensitive equipment in office and home environments.
How many outlets does this surge protector have, and what type are they?
This surge protector features eight NEMA 5-15R outlets, which are standard three-prong outlets commonly used in North America. Three of these outlets are specifically spaced to accommodate bulky power adapters or transformers, ensuring all outlets remain accessible even when larger plugs are in use. This design maximizes connectivity for various devices like computers, monitors, and chargers.
What is the power handling capacity of the TLP808B?
