Description
The SurgeX SA-1810 Standalone Surge Eliminator represents the pinnacle of power protection technology for professional audiovisual installations. Engineered to safeguard independent audio and video equipment in any environment, this compact protection solution delivers uncompromising performance without compromising valuable workspace.
At the core of the SA-1810 lies SurgeX's patented Advanced Series Mode (ASM) technology, which sets it apart from conventional MOV-based surge protectors. This non-sacrificial design eliminates surge energy up to 6,000 volts without producing harmful side effects such as ground contamination or common-mode disturbances that can degrade AV system performance. The unit has been independently certified by UL to withstand 1,000 surges at 6,000 volts and 3,000 amps, with an unlimited Maximum Applied Surge Pulse Joule Rating.
The SA-1810 features ten industrial-grade grounded NEMA 5-15R AC receptacles, providing ample connection points for complete system protection. Rated for 15 amps at 120 volts, the unit delivers reliable power distribution for demanding professional applications. Both common mode and normal mode Impedance Tolerant EMI/RFI filtering provide comprehensive power conditioning, improving audio and video signal quality while protecting against electrical interference.
Thanks to its A-1-1 certification from the U.S. Government representing the highest classification for surge protection, the SA-1810 is ideal for mission-critical installations including broadcast facilities, recording studios, security systems, IT infrastructure, and laboratory equipment. Optional mounting brackets enable flexible installation alongside standalone equipment. The compact form factor measuring 4.0 by 10.2 by 4.2 inches and weighing 8.5 pounds ensures easy integration into existing setups.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What makes SurgeX Advanced Series Mode technology different from standard surge protectors?
A. Unlike conventional MOV-based protectors that degrade over time and require replacement after absorbing surges, SurgeX Advanced Series Mode technology is completely non-sacrificial. It uses opposing air core inductors to decrease surge energy and current before sending it to a clamping board, providing permanent protection without ground contamination or common-mode disturbances.
Q. What types of equipment is the SA-1810 designed to protect?
A. The SA-1810 is designed for professional audio/video equipment, IT systems, security installations, laboratory equipment, and any mission-critical electronics. Its compact design makes it suitable for AV racks, computer systems, and standalone equipment installations outside traditional rack environments.
Q. Does the SA-1810 provide power conditioning in addition to surge protection?
A. Yes, the SA-1810 includes both common mode and normal mode Impedance Tolerant EMI/RFI filtering, providing comprehensive power conditioning that improves audio and video performance while protecting equipment from electrical noise and interference.
Q. What certifications does the SurgeX SA-1810 hold?
A. The SA-1810 holds A-1-1 certification from the U.S. Government, representing the highest classification for surge protection. It has been independently UL certified to withstand 1,000 surges at 6,000 volts and 3,000 amps with unlimited surge energy capacity.
