Compact wall-tap surge protector

The APC SurgeArrest P4GC is a 120 V surge suppressor with four NEMA 5-15R outlets and a 1020 joule energy rating. It plugs directly into a wall receptacle using a NEMA 5-15P connector and includes an LCD timer for energy-saving control. The unit measures 6.50 inches high, 3.70 inches wide and 2.00 inches deep, weighing approximately 8.80 ounces.

Home and small-office users needing basic outlet

This suits anyone adding protected outlets for computers, monitors or chargers in a 120 V environment. Buyers who require more than four receptacles or a longer input cord should look elsewhere. The 15 A line-current limit also rules out high-draw appliances such as heaters or large laser printers.

1020 joule surge energy rating

The 1020 J rating defines how much transient energy the device can absorb before it sacrifices itself. A higher joule figure means longer protective life for connected electronics, so this number is the primary filter when choosing a surge protector.

Questions about this item

Does the P4GC come with anything besides the surge suppressor itself?

The box contains the SurgeArrest Essential P4GC unit and a user manual. No extra cables or mounting hardware are included.

How do I decide whether the 1020 J rating is enough for my equipment?

A 1020 J rating suits typical home-office loads such as a computer, monitor and router. For high-value AV racks or servers a higher-joule model is preferable.

What does the 72 kA surge-current figure mean when the strip is plugged into a 120 V circuit?

It indicates the maximum impulse current the suppressor can divert once; the 1020 J energy rating better reflects how much total surge energy it can absorb over its lifetime.
