Specifications, conditions & service
| Catalog subcategory | Surge protection devices |
|---|---|
| Topology / power path | Mains surge protective device with clamping/filter elements; no battery backup and no sustained voltage regulation. |
| Ratings / output configuration | 120 V, 15 A-class strip; APC product/manual lists 8 NEMA outlets and a 2160 J surge-energy rating for P8GT. Confirm the exact suffix and label. Eight NEMA 5-15R outlets; outlet spacing/grouping and coax/telephone ports depend on the P8GT face/revision. |
| Battery / replaceability | No battery. |
| Runtime / limits and conditions | No outage runtime. |
| Interfaces / monitoring | Ground/protection status indicator and coaxial/telephone line pass-through protection per model; no UPS communications or energy metering. |
| Safety / installation caveats | Correctly grounded outlet is required. Surge parts may wear after events; heed protection indicator and replacement warnings. Telephone/coax protection needs correctly installed compatible cables and does not replace service grounding. |
| Model variants / revision checks | P8GT differs from P8T3, P8U2 and other SurgeArrest models. Verify joule rating, outlet configuration, cable ports and manual revision on the product label. |
Field service / archive notes
- Record labels and connector layout before installation; document load, input conditions, measured behavior and test date separately from manufacturer-rated values.
- Never open energized mains equipment. Battery devices can retain dangerous voltage or high fault current; follow the manufacturer’s replacement and recycling procedure.
- Inspect enclosure, cord, plugs, grounding, indicators, alarms and battery condition. Quarantine damaged, swollen, leaking or heat-affected equipment.
- Network-management appliances should be isolated, updated where supported and configured with non-default credentials; do not expose legacy management interfaces directly to the public internet.
