Description
The range consists of MultiGuard extension leads with 4–6 sockets, including ones with USB ports for charging and with a switch, as well as plug-in adapters. Versions for the UK plug are rated for 13 A, and for Schuko 16 A. Surge protection is built to Class III, that is, it is the final level right at the consumer, complementing the surge arrester in the panel. SpikeGuard restrains surges in a single socket, CommsGuard additionally protects the telephone line through an RJ11 connector and absorbs 160 J at a discharge current of 6.5 kA with an 8/20 μs waveform. PureAC contains an RFI filter of 3, 7 or 13 A and removes high-frequency noise that disturbs audio and measuring equipment.
How to choose
First decide on the socket standard, since the 13 or 16 A rating depends on it. For a workplace with several appliances take a MultiGuard extension lead; for a single device an adapter is enough. If a telephone line or DSL comes into the equipment, CommsGuard is needed, and for sensitive audio PureAC. Such filters do not protect against lightning surges at the building input; there DSP surge arresters of type 1 and 2 with Imax of 20–240 kA are installed.

FAQ
How much energy does the CommsGuard adapter absorb?
CommsGuard dissipates 160 J and withstands a discharge current of 6.5 kA of an 8/20 μs pulse, protecting both the power and the RJ11 line.
What current is the MultiGuard extension lead rated for?
The version with a UK plug carries up to 13 A, and with a Schuko plug up to 16 A.
Does a Class III power filter replace the surge arrester in the panel?
No, Class III protects only the end consumer. At the input a type 1 or 2 surge arrester is needed, for example the DSP series with Imax from 20 kA.
What ratings does the PureAC RFI filter have?
PureAC is made for 3, 7 and 13 A, and the rating is chosen by the current of the appliance connected to the adapter.
