A Changing Electrical Landscape

Left unchecked, electrical transients reach your

sensitive electronic equipment everyday on

average, as many as 120 times per month.

About 40% of these disturbances originate out-

side your home or building in the form of

spikes, surges and lightning. A bout half the

electricity consumed in the U nited States isused to power sensitive electronic devices

from the microprocessor inside your

microwave to sophisticated robotics to mis-

sion-critical data centers. Your data and elec-

tronics are too valuable leave unprotected

against damaging power disruptions.

APC: World Leader in Power Protection

While the origin of these power disturbances is not controllable, how you safeguard your home and

facility is within your control. Building on our market-leading power solutions, you can now enjoy

APCs legendary power protection reliability at the electrical service entrance of your building.

APC s full line of panelmount SP Ds provides protection for residential, comm ercial and light indus-trial applications. D esigned to mount at your electrical service entrance and at critical equipment,

these units offer the performance and value youve come to expect from A PC . W hen used in con-

junction wi th other A PC power protection products, youll enjoy total protection against externally

generated power surges and spikes that could otherwise destroy data, hardware and profits.

Providing the Total Solution:Using a panelmount SP D at your electrical service entrance provides protection against all electrical transients originating outside your home or facility.

However, surveys have shown that as much as 60% of all electrical transients originate from w ithin your home or building. In order to provide maxi-

mum protection for your sensitive electronic devices, the best method of overall power protection is a multi-level approach. This means using other

types of power protection equipment in addition to panelmount surge protection devices. Here are some ideas for maximizing your protection:

Level 2 Protection:This multi-level approach uses a panel-

mount SPD in conjunction with a "point of

use" surge protector, like one of these APCproducts:

Level 3 Protection:This multi-level approach combines use of

a panelmount SPD in conjunction with

"point of use" surge protectors AND batterybackup un its, like these APC products:

Level 1 Protection:Use of only a pan elmount SPD to

protect your home or c ommercial facility

or industrial building:
