Key Features & Technology Explained

Micro-Spike Protection

Protects against daily short, fast power spikes that damage equipment over time. Typical surge protectors can actually contribute to this sustained damage.

High-Speed USB-A & USB-C Charging Ports

High-Speed Charging for Type-C and Type-A USB devices; Type-C (5VDC/3.0A) and Type-A (5VDC/2.4A).

Flat-to-Wall 45° Plug

Flat-to-Wall 45° Plug can be easily installed in tight spaces behind furniture or other hard-to-reach areas.

Description

The PowerQuest G8 8-Outlet Surge Protector features Micro-Spike Technology, Catastrophic Surge Protection, and a slim (3.31” x 11.93” x 1.29”), durable enclosure with eight AC outlets and two high-speed USB ports.

Most AC power surge protectors are 3-mode surge-suppression devices. Though these may guard against catastrophic power surges, they can also allow even modest transient-power spikes to dissipate via the electrical AC ground. This is significant since no surge protection technology dissipates the incoming surge/spike to either zero volts or amps. Most AC powerline surges or spikes are frequent—and they are not catastrophic.

In fact, transient-power spikes can occur dozens of times daily in any home or office with standard utility power. Appliances and machinery often generate these power spikes, and, when they occur, a typical 3-mode protection device can send the remaining electrical energy to an audio/video component’s circuit ground. Over time, this can cause incremental damage to the component’s delicate surface-mount circuit chips.

PowerQuest’s Micro-Spike Technology prevents this from happening while also protecting your valuable system from catastrophic power surges.
