FAQ
What types of devices can I connect to the different receptacles?
The PS361220 features two NEMA 5-20R receptacles that support 20A devices requiring higher current, and ten NEMA 5-15R receptacles for standard 15A equipment. This mixed configuration allows simultaneous connection of computers, monitors, servers, and industrial equipment with different power requirements while maintaining proper circuit protection.
How does the circuit breaker protect my equipment?
The integrated 20A resettable circuit breaker automatically trips if the total current draw exceeds 20 amps, preventing circuit overloads that could damage connected devices or create fire hazards. Once the overload condition is resolved, the breaker can be manually reset to restore power without replacing fuses or components.
