Indoor Surge Receptacle

The Hubbell 15A duplex receptacle provides 125VAC power with integrated surge protection for indoor environments. It uses two internal metal oxide varistors rated at 240 joules per mode to suppress transient voltage spikes. A power-on LED confirms live power while an audible alarm sounds when protection is no longer active. The unit fits a standard flush-mount box and includes mounting hardware.

Protection Status Indicators

The visual LED and audible alarm change how the receptacle is monitored compared with unprotected outlets. The light gives immediate confirmation that power is present at the face. The alarm activates automatically when the MOV circuit can no longer clamp surges, removing the guesswork from replacement timing. Both features operate without separate wiring or external modules.

15A 125VAC Capacity

Rated for 15 amps at 125 volts, the receptacle handles standard North American plug loads on a 5-15R configuration. The 240-joule per-mode rating absorbs typical indoor transients from switching equipment or minor grid events. It is not suited for whole-panel protection or high-energy lightning strikes that exceed the joule rating. The brass contacts and self-grounding staple maintain reliable continuity for the circuit.

Questions about this item

How long will the 240 joule MOVs last before the receptacle stops protecting my equipment?

The internal metal oxide varistors are rated at 240 joules per mode; the audible alarm sounds and the power-on LED turns off when surge protection is no longer active, signalling that replacement is needed.

What fails first if the receptacle runs at 15 A continuously?

The device is rated for 15 A at 125 VAC; sustained operation at that limit will stress the brass contacts and clamping plate before any other component.

Does the indicator light or alarm add noticeable heat or noise during all-day operation?

The power-on LED draws minimal current and the audible alarm only activates when protection is lost, so neither adds measurable heat or continuous noise.
