Power Distribution
I have just installed whole house surge protection, a dedicated 20-amp breaker and a short run of 12/2 to my new Hubbell 20amp receptacle for my system that’s in waiting.
With only the two outlets on the receptacle, I will need some form of a power strip or distribution bar. With no need of a power conditioner or surge protection I’m looking for some suggestions on a high-quality, reasonably price, piece of this nature.
Thanks in advance!

@high-amp - I have a surge supressor installed on my Breaker panel - you can get varying levels of protection from $150 - $450 installed by an electrician. So far, we have had quite a few weather related power disruptions and it appears to have provided adequate protection, but I can not honestly say any of them had a related POWER SURGE I believe surge protection has been hyped up ofer the years by companies that produce power conditioners as something we need - our delicate electronics need protecting. Every time there’s a storm I unplug my system form the mains supply - that’s how I protect it. When you think about surge protection, what are you protecting against
I am fortunate in that I live in an area with a pretty stable mains supply, so I may not be the right person to make comment on this partuicular topic. I built my own power distribution components
Hope that helps - Steve

williewonka - thanks Steve, great info thank you. I’m not sure I’m up to building something myself but between yours and the others information here, I think I’m heading in the right direction! After researching a bit, I do like the Wisdom Cable Tech units, but they do not include any form of surge protector as where the more pricey of the two Furutech units do, so possibly thinking of going that route. |
