Class leading protection for sensitive electronic equipment from the stress and damage due to transient voltage spikes. The products work by diverting the overvoltage surges away from the the protected devices and shunting them to ground in fractions of a second (Much faster than a typical current controlled protection device). Protects source and load devices by providing over 50,000 Amps of surge current capacity. Protects connected devices from damage due to Lightning, Solar Flare, EMP (All phases), Grid Voltage Surges, and more. Must be connected to an electrical circuit that has a breaker or fuse of at least 15A, this device does not protect against load short circuit conditions.

FAQ
What is the PSP120V mainly used for?
The PSP120V is a 3-foot plug-in surge protector designed to help protect compatible 120VAC devices from damaging surge events. Common applications include home electronics, renters, RV/camper use, generator-powered equipment, laptops, chargers, radios, medical devices, emergency equipment, appliances, security systems, garage door openers, sump pumps, control boards, and other compatible 120VAC devices.
How is the PSP120V different from the SSP120V?
The PSP120V and SSP120V are both designed for compatible 120VAC plug-in surge protection applications. The PSP120V has a 50KA surge current rating and includes a 3-foot cord, allowing it to connect more like a short extension cord. The SSP120V has a higher 120KA surge current rating.
What voltage is the PSP120V designed for?
The PSP120V is designed for 120VAC electrical circuits only. Do not use it on 240V circuits or any voltage outside the product rating.
What plug and receptacle style does the PSP120V use?
The PSP120V is designed for standard 120VAC plug-in applications using NEMA 5-15 style connections.
What is the amperage rating of the PSP120V?
The PSP120V is designed for compatible 15 amp 120VAC circuits. Do not exceed the product’s voltage or amperage rating.
How long is the PSP120V cord?
The PSP120V includes a 3-foot cord, allowing it to be used like a short extension cord between the power source and the connected equipment.
What does the 50KA rating mean?
The 50KA rating refers to the surge current capacity of the device. The PSP120V is designed to help protect compatible 120VAC connected equipment from damaging surge events when properly used.
Does the PSP120V protect against EMP, CME, solar flare, and lightning-related surges?
Yes. The PSP120V is designed to help protect compatible 120VAC equipment against normal surge events, indirect lightning-related surge activity, and EM-related surge events such as EMP, CME, and solar flare related electrical disturbances.
Is the PSP120V plug and play?
Yes. The PSP120V is a plug-in surge protector. Plug it into a compatible grounded 120VAC outlet, then connect the equipment or power strip you want to protect downstream from the surge protector.
What does “protects everything downstream” mean?
The PSP120V is designed to help protect compatible equipment connected downstream from the surge protector. This means the equipment plugged into the PSP120V, or connected through an appropriate downstream power strip or cord, receives surge protection from the device.
Can the PSP120V be used with a power strip?
Yes. The PSP120V may be used with a compatible properly rated power strip connected downstream, as long as the total connected load does not exceed the PSP120V rating or the circuit rating.
Can the PSP120V be used with a generator?
Yes. The PSP120V may be used with compatible 120VAC generator-powered circuits that use standard NEMA 5-15 connections. Always verify the generator output, grounding, voltage, and connected load before use.
Can the PSP120V be used in an RV or camper?
Yes. The PSP120V may be used for compatible 120VAC plug-in devices in RV or camper applications, as long as the connection is a properly rated 120VAC NEMA 5-15 circuit and the device is used indoors or in a protected location.
Does the PSP120V have a status light?
Yes. The PSP120V has a green status light. When the green light is on, the surge protector is functioning correctly. If the green light is off, the surge protector should be replaced.
Does the PSP120V have a digital voltmeter?
No. The PSP120V does not include a digital voltmeter or display.
Can the PSP120V be used outdoors?
The PSP120V is intended for indoor use only. Do not expose it to rain, direct moisture, standing water, or outdoor conditions unless it is used in a properly protected location suitable for the electrical connection.
Does the PSP120V replace a circuit breaker or fuse?
No. The PSP120V does not replace required overcurrent protection. The electrical circuit should have proper overcurrent protection, such as a fuse or circuit breaker, located before the surge protector in the electrical path.
Can the PSP120V be used on an ungrounded outlet?
No. The PSP120V should only be used on a properly grounded compatible 120VAC outlet. Do not use it on ungrounded or improperly wired outlets.
Can the PSP120V be used on 240V circuits?
No. The PSP120V is designed for 120VAC circuits only. Do not use it on 240V circuits or any voltage outside the product rating.
Can the PSP120V be submerged in water?
No. Do not submerge the PSP120V in water. It is intended for indoor/protected use only.
Can the PSP120V be opened or modified?
No. Do not open, modify, tamper with, or improperly use the PSP120V. If the device is damaged, improperly used, or the green status light is off, it should be replaced.
Who should use this product?
The PSP120V can be used by customers who need plug-in surge protection for compatible 120VAC devices. When in doubt about the outlet, circuit, grounding, generator connection, RV connection, or connected equipment, consult a qualified electrician or technician.
Does this product include a warranty?
Bad Wolf surge protection devices include a 5-year product warranty. Eligible products may also include connected equipment warranty coverage when properly used and registered according to the warranty terms.
