I actually bought 3 types of plugs that turn into lightning surge-compatible taps just by tapping lightning guards that can not be done



When lightning strikes or the like, abnormal large current occurs as it is, destroying various equipment "Lightning surgeIn order to prevent "lightning surge corresponding tap" or UPS (Uninterruptible power systemThere are methods such as sandwiching between them.

Basically, since the UPS is a device that supplies electric power when power supply from the outlet becomes impossible due to a power outage or the like, the battery is large and it is difficult to take space for sure by all means.


Taps with lightning surge may be the most common ones. But this also has few features and designs that I want. In the first place, replacing a tap of an existing outlet with a new one hardly goes ahead.


In case you want to make existing power tap compatible with lightning surge, you can actually use it because it is possible to use it by inserting it into the power tap already possessed, you can use it when it is used for lightning surge plug.

The first is "Yazawa Lightning Buster Plug 60000V Type STB60WHOn Amazon, 800 yen including tax, the maximum surge voltage as its name suggests is 60000 V. In fact, not only the instantaneous number of volts but also the time and so on together are really "Joule"If you compare it as good as the product is clearly understood whether it is UPS, it is written in Joule in many cases to represent the lightning surge function.DELL page"Joule rating indicates the amount of energy that can be absorbed by the surge protector.Select a surge protector with high Joule rating.The higher the Joule rating is, the more protection It is clearly stated that "the power to strengthen is strengthened."


It is like this when inserted in an outlet. Because it occupies one plug, for people who want to emphasize look more than functionality.


next"ACROSS with strong surge protector 4 TAP AT - ST". The lightning surge plug here is 840 yen including tax and the price is set close to "lightning buster plug".


Because it comes with a slim 4-tap tap than "Thunder Buster Plug", I feel that 840 yen including tax is quite affordable price setting. Maximum surge voltage is 60000 V and energy tolerance is 720 Joules. There is a notation of energy resistance so firmlyDecay of energyIt is thought about and can be trusted. It is recommended for those who seek practicality rather than design.


The end is "SHODEN SPR-TB-P-A1 Thunder Blocker", The price is 3150 yen including tax and reasonably high compared with other reasons like thisDeveloped by a company specializing in lightning surge countermeasuresBecause it is a structure that does not block as it sees. The allowable surge voltage is 10000 V or more.


It is inserted. It can be connected directly to the grounded outlet, and it is also possible to insert a plug with a ground pin.


This earth pin is removable. It seems to be useful for protecting electronic equipment with plug with earth pin from lightning surge.


It is essential that the type that taps such as "Yazawa lightning buster plug" or "ACROS powerful surge protector" is the closest to the cable of the tap as follows. It is an image that stops at the entrance and protects it when a lightning surge occurs.


In the case of "SHODEN SPR - TB - P - A1 Thunder Blocker" it is OK between the power strip and the outlet so it is definitely the most reliable.


If you choose the best one according to your budget and installation situation like this, you should be able to survive somehow in case of emergency.
