FAQ
What is the power handling capacity of this surge suppressor?
The Minuteman MMS-STP8U3 has a 1.80 kVA power handling capacity, meaning it can support connected devices drawing up to this power level while maintaining surge protection functionality. This capacity makes it suitable for protecting multiple computers, monitors, and peripherals simultaneously in office or home office environments.
How many devices can I connect to this surge protector?
This unit provides eight AC power outlets for standard electrical devices plus three USB ports (two USB Type-A and one USB Type-C) for charging mobile devices. This allows you to protect and power up to eleven devices concurrently, making it ideal for workstations, entertainment centers, or home office setups with multiple electronics.
What level of surge protection does this unit provide?
The surge suppressor offers 144 kA maximum surge current protection and can absorb up to 2160 joules of surge energy. These ratings indicate robust protection against power spikes from lightning strikes, utility grid fluctuations, and other electrical disturbances that could damage sensitive electronic equipment.
Does this surge protector include any additional power conditioning features?
Yes, the MMS-STP8U3 includes EMI/RFI noise filtration that reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference on the power line. This helps prevent audio/video distortion, data corruption, and performance issues in sensitive electronics like audio systems, computers, and networking equipment that can be affected by electrical noise.
What type of plug does this surge suppressor use?
This unit features a right-angle plug design that extends parallel to the wall rather than protruding outward. This space-saving configuration allows furniture to be placed closer to outlets and reduces strain on the plug connection, making it particularly useful in tight spaces or behind desks and entertainment centers.
