The high cost of
surge damage
Home Electronics Protective Devices
Each year it’s estimated that surges
can cause $26 billion in lost time,
repairs, and equipment.
The cost of surge damage can range
from an immediate loss of electronics
and appliances to long-term cumulative
damage, shortening the life expectancy
of expensive home possessions.
Square D Home Electronics Protective Devices (HEPDs) are compact and affordable surge suppressors
designed for protection against surges that may overpower surge strips. HEPDs also provide protection
for home electronics not connected to surge strips.
Square D brand HEPDs are critical surge suppression elements for sensitive equipment and devices.
When mounted in residential load centers, they are ideal for providing surge suppression to important
household items that plug strips typically don’t protect. The HEPD80 provides 80,000 amps of surge
capacity and a five-year, $75,000 limited warranty.
