Bad Wolf products are offered for both residential and commercial applications. Class leading protection for sensitive electronic equipment, from the stress and damage due to transient voltage spikes. The products works by diverting the overvoltage surges away from 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 120,000 Amps of surge current capacity. Protects connected devices from damage due to Lightning, Solar Flare, EMP (All phases), Grid Voltage Surges, and more. SPD (Surge Protection Device) and does not replace the need for a circuit breaker or fuse of at least 15A connected in series to prevent load overcurrent protection.

FAQ
What is the SSP120V mainly used for?
The SSP120V is a plug-in surge protector designed to help protect 120VAC devices connected through a standard NEMA 5-15 outlet. 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.
What voltage is the SSP120V designed for?
The SSP120V 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 SSP120V use?
The SSP120V uses standard NEMA 5-15 style connections for compatible 120VAC plug-in applications.
What is the amperage rating of the SSP120V?
The SSP120V is rated for 15 amp 120VAC circuits. Do not exceed the product’s voltage or amperage rating.
What does the 120KA rating mean?
The 120KA rating refers to the surge current capacity of the device. The SSP120V is designed to help protect compatible 120VAC connected equipment from damaging surge events when properly used.
Does the SSP120V protect against EMP, CME, solar flare, and lightning-related surges?
Yes. The SSP120V 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 SSP120V plug and play?
Yes. The SSP120V 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 SSP120V is designed to help protect compatible equipment connected downstream from the surge protector. This means the equipment plugged into the SSP120V, or connected through an appropriate downstream power strip or cord, receives surge protection from the device.
Can the SSP120V be used with a power strip?
Yes, the SSP120V may be used with a compatible properly rated power strip connected downstream, as long as the total connected load does not exceed the SSP120V rating or the circuit rating.
Can the SSP120V be used with a generator?
Yes. The SSP120V 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 SSP120V be used in an RV or camper?
Yes. The SSP120V 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.
What does the green status light mean?
The SSP120V 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 SSP120V have a digital voltmeter?
No. The SSP120V does not include a digital voltmeter or display.
Can the SSP120V be used outdoors?
The SSP120V 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 SSP120V replace a circuit breaker or fuse?
No. The SSP120V 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 SSP120V be used on an ungrounded outlet?
No. The SSP120V should only be used on a properly grounded compatible 120VAC outlet. Do not use it on ungrounded or improperly wired outlets.
Can the SSP120V be used on 240V circuits?
No. The SSP120V is designed for 120VAC circuits only. Do not use it on 240V circuits or any voltage outside the product rating.
Can the SSP120V be submerged in water?
No. Do not submerge the SSP120V in water. It is intended for indoor/protected use only.
Can the SSP120V be opened or modified?
No. Do not open, modify, tamper with, or improperly use the SSP120V. If the device is damaged, improperly used, or the green status light is off, it should be replaced.
Who should use this product?
The SSP120V 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.
