Many of our purchases—from computers to home entertainment systems—are connected to multiple power and communication lines. These systems include:

• electrical power from your utility provider
• telephones
• cable or satellite television

electrical power system

telephone connection

television system

Each connection point also is a potential source of damage to your equipment from dangerous electrical surges. Surges can be caused by:

• power switching at the utility
• power outages and the related power surges
• lightning-generated surges to power lines

MULTIPLE CONNECTION POINTS LEAVE YOU VULNERABLE
Insurance industry studies show that having multiple sources connected to one unit allows for a variety of grounding differentials. When a surge arrives at the equipment, it may "arc" across the internal electronic components trying to reach ground. This arc can damage sensitive computer and power supply components rendering them useless.

Just protecting one of the systems does not eliminate the potential for damage when the other sources aren’t defended.

MAXIMIZE YOUR PROTECTION
The best place to obtain the highest level of surge protection is at the service entrance (load center) using a whole-house or whole-building surge protection device. You want all the systems in your home or business to have the potential for passing the surges safely away from the valuable electronic equipment.

The Square D Surgebreaker™ Plus whole-house surge protector system:

• is ideal for the requirements of a typical home or office
• can handle up to four phone lines
• has an upgradeable module if you use digital lines that require a higher level of protection

By protecting your systems, you can rest easy knowing that your lifestyle and livelihood are safeguarded.
