Indoor Commercial Surge Receptacle
The Hubbell HBL420IS is a surface-mount quad receptacle rated for 20A at 125V AC. It provides four NEMA 5-20R straight-blade outlets with MOV-based surge suppression for indoor dry locations. The polycarbonate housing carries a UL94 V-2 flammability rating and brass contacts. UL Listed to UL498 and CSA Certified to C22.2 No.42, it suits commercial environments needing multiple protected outlets.
Build Integration Requirements
The device mounts on a surface and accepts #12 AWG copper conductors via terminal screws. Its two-pole, three-wire grounding configuration fits standard commercial wiring practices. The quad layout consolidates four protected outlets into a single gang space, freeing wall area otherwise occupied by separate surge strips. LED status indicators allow visual confirmation of protection status without additional test equipment.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Each protection mode is rated at 80 joules and 6500A, delivering up to 240 joules per mode across the circuit. The MOV components clamp transient voltages continuously during extended operation rather than only during brief spikes. The receptacle maintains its 20A, 125V rating under continuous load while the surge network remains active, and the LED indicators signal if the suppression capability degrades over time.

Questions about this item
What is the surge energy rating per mode on the HBL420IS?
The receptacle provides 80 joules per mode with a peak current rating of 6500A, totalling up to 240 joules of protection per mode.
Does the quad receptacle run hot or make noise when all four outlets are loaded continuously?
The device is a passive surge suppressor with no fan or moving parts, so it produces no audible noise and negligible heat under normal 20A operation.
What wiring and mounting must already be in place for this surface-mount unit?
You need a standard indoor junction box, #12 AWG copper conductors for the 20A circuit, and a two-pole three-wire grounded feed matching the NEMA 5-20R configuration.
