Honeywell 8 Out Surge Protector, 1.8 Meter Length, White

Q: What is the difference between Extension board and surge protector?
Ans: A surge protector incorporates MOV ( Metal oxide varistor) components to protect connected devices from voltage spikes, whereas a standard extension board primarily provides additional outlets and doesn't include surge protection.

Q: What is MOV and what are the benefits of MOV?
Ans: A Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) is a type of electrical component that protects electronic circuits and devices from over voltage surges by changing its resistance in response to voltage. It's benefits are:
1. Reacts fast to stop voltage spikes.
2. Changes resistance to block surges.
3. Protects from both positive and negative spikes.
4. Small in size and easy on the budget.

Q: What is Device Secure Warranty (DSW) on the Honeywell Surge Protector and how does it work?
Ans: The Device Secure Warranty (DSW) is a financial protection program offered by Honeywell on the Surge Protector. It provides monetary compensation up to $15,000 if a connected device is damaged due to a power surge and the Surge Protector fails to protect it provided there are no internal wiring faults or electrical issues. DSW highlights Honeywell’s commitment to quality and safety, giving Surge Protector users added peace of mind and extra assurance that their valuable electronics are protected.

Q: How can I avoid common mistakes when using Surge protector?
Ans: 1. Avoid plugging surge protectors into other surge protectors or extension cords to prevent overload and fire risk
2. Don’t connect high-power/ voltage devices.
3. Regularly inspect surge protectors for damage and replace them after major power surges or every few years.
4. Unplug sensitive electronics during severe storms for extra protection.
5. Use surge protectors with grounded plugs, these have a grounding pin that safely directs excess electricity into the ground, protecting you and your devices from electrical faults.
6. Make sure your home’s internal wiring is properly grounded, as surge protectors can only function effectively if the electrical system offers a safe path for excess current.

Q: What do the joules and amps mentioned on a Honeywell surge protector mean, and how do they help protect my devices?
Ans: Joules measure the amount of energy a surge protector can absorb before it fails basically, its surge protection capacity. The higher the joule rating, the better it can protect your devices from power spikes.
Amps refer to the maximum electrical current the surge protector can handle safely without overheating or getting damaged. It indicates the load capacity of the surge protector.

Q: What are the joule and amp ratings of the Honeywell Surge Protector, and what types of ports does it offer for connecting devices?
Ans: The Honeywell Surge Protector provides 1050 joules of surge protection and supports up to 36000 amps of current, making it suitable for everyday electronics like smartphones, tablets, laptops, and small appliances. It comes equipped with 8 EU outlet, 2 USB port, and 2 Type-C port, allowing you to plug in and charge 12 devices simultaneously with convenience and safety.

Q: What are the safety features of Honeywell Surge protector?
Ans: Honeywell surge protectors are equipped with several safety features designed to enhance safety and protect your electronic devices:
1. Child safety shutters to prevent accidental electric shocks, especially for children.
2.Automatic reset switch enables instant surge protection recovery in less than 1 nano second.
3. Overload protection to safeguard against excessive current flow.
4. Fire-resistant materials for enhanced safety and durability.
5. Full 3-line surge protection across live, neutral, and ground lines.
6. MOV technology provides advanced surge absorption to protect your devices from power spikes.
7. Device Secure Warranty (DSW) offers added financial protection if your connected device is damaged despite using a Honeywell surge protector.
8. LED indicator to show real-time surge protection status.

Q: Will a surge protector help me save money on my power bill?
Ans: No. A surge protector is simply a gatekeeper, not an energy-saving device. The power coming to your surge protector will have already passed through your meter and be recorded to your account with your electrical service provider. The surge protector is designed only to block power surges and protect the connected devices.

Q: How to tell if a power strip is a surge protector?
Ans: Look for labels like 'Surge Protection', 'Surge Suppressor, or a joule rating (e.g., 471J) on the packaging or device itself. True surge protectors often have indicator lights showing active protection. If it only says 'power strip' and lacks this info, it's likely not offering surge protection. When in doubt, check the product specifications or user manual.

Q: What are the key built-in features of Honeywell surge protectors?
Ans: 1.The EU socket design is specifically compatible with plug types commonly used across European countries, making the Honeywell Surge Protector ideal for use within the region.
2. Allows multiple devices to be plugged in and charged simultaneously.
3. Sockets are placed in opposite directions to prevent wire clutter and tangling during use.
4. A master reset switch allows convenient power ON/OFF control for all connected devices.
5. Made with 100% pure copper wiring for better conductivity, reduced power loss, and enhanced durability, as per International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS).
6. Comes with a 1.8 meter BIS Certified heavy-duty power cord and plug for flexible placement and ensuring better protection for connected devices.
7. Equipped with a nail hook for easy wall mounting, saving space and keeping your area organized.
