A surge protector is a device designed to protect electrical devices from voltage spikes. A surge protector attempts to limit the voltage supplied to an electric device by either blocking or shorting to ground any unwanted voltages above a safe threshold.
The red protection light indicates that your surge protector is providing surge protection for your equipment. If the red light is out, it means that the surge protector has been damaged by a severe surge and a new one should be purchased.
Ideal to protect UV Systems & Water Pumps from voltage spike damage.
