Product Features
Technical Overview
The SK3-0 surge suppressor incorporates advanced protection circuitry capable of handling up to 27 kA of maximum surge current. The 660 Joule rating represents the total energy absorption capacity across multiple surge events, while the 1.88 kVA power handling specification ensures compatibility with typical office equipment loads.
This unit features diagnostic LEDs that provide visual status indicators for protection functionality. The direct plug-in design eliminates the need for power cords, creating a clean installation that plugs directly into standard wall outlets. The compact dimensions and lightweight construction make the SK3-0 particularly suitable for space-constrained environments where traditional power strips would be impractical.
This section brings together practical product details such as Plug/Connector Type, Receptacles, Input Voltage, Output Voltage, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
