HOW IT WORKS

Provides state-of-the art, high quality, FIREPROOF surge protection and stops standby power consumed by PC and TV peripherals (printer, speakers, charger, modem, scanner, sub-woofer, DVD player etc). Current sensing circuitry senses when a PC / TV is Off and then automatically switches off selected peripherals to save energy. Simple to install and easy to use.

STATE OF THE ART, FIREPROOF SURGE PROTECTION

Incorporates fireproof metal oxide varistors (MOV). TrickleStar

MOV’s are encased in a ceramic casing and are capable of suppressing more energy and dissipating heat faster than traditional MOV’s. More importantly the ceramic casing is fireproof and can prevent a fire during abnormal surge conditions.
