Overview
The Tripp Lite SK30USB Protect It! is a compact direct plug-in surge protector that provides AC surge suppression and USB charging from a standard 120V wall outlet. It combines three NEMA 5-15R receptacles with two USB-A charging ports in a wall-mounted format.
AC Surge Protection
The SK30USB provides 540 joules of surge energy absorption and protects against normal-mode and common-mode line surges. Its surge suppression response time is less than 1 nanosecond, with a maximum surge current rating of 27,000A. Automatic shutoff disconnects the AC outlets if the surge protection circuitry is compromised.
USB-A Charging
Two USB-A charging ports provide a combined 2.1A charging output for compatible portable devices such as smartphones, tablets and Amazon Kindle devices. The USB ports are intended for charging rather than USB data connectivity.
Filtering and Diagnostics
Integrated EMI/RFI filtering helps reduce unwanted electrical line noise. A green diagnostic LED indicates that the surge protection is active. The direct plug-in design eliminates the need for a separate AC power cord.
Key Features
- Three NEMA 5-15R AC outlets in a direct plug-in design
- 540-joule surge suppression with less-than-1-nanosecond response
- Two USB-A charging ports with 2.1A total charging output
- EMI/RFI line-noise filtering and green protection-status LED
- Automatic shutoff when the surge protection circuitry is incapacitated
Applications
The SK30USB is suited to desktop workstations, home-office setups, retail counters and other indoor locations where a small number of AC devices and portable USB-charged devices need protection from power surges and line noise.
DC Supplies Product Note
The SK30USB is a direct plug-in surge protector with no extension cord. Check the available wall receptacle and surrounding clearance before installation, particularly where the connected equipment requires additional physical space.
