MASTERPLUG SWSRG6XN (01) PDF Document

The MASTERPLUG SWSRG6XN surge extension lead includes the following features:

• Individually switched sockets

• Protects valuable electrical equipment from surges and spikes

• Plug six items safely into one socket

• Rounded slimline appearance

• LED power and surge indicators

• Wall fixing capability

These products should be used in accordance with the safety instructions below:

DO Uncoil cable before use

DO Position the cable carefully to avoid accidents

X DON’T Use in wet conditions

X DON’T Allow heavy tools etc to hang unsupported on the cable or from the socket

X DON’T Remove the 13 amp plug and wire directly into a mains supply

X DON’T Exceed the total maximum load 13 amps = 3120 Watts 220-240 Volts a.c.

The MASTERPLUG SWSRG6XN is not a lightning arrester and will not protect equipment against lightning strikes. However, it is designed to protect against power surges that can occur daily in a home or office. The switching on/off of fluorescent lights and household appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, and tumble dryers can cause power surges. These surges and spikes can seriously damage electronic equipment. Even low energy surges can cause gradual component degradation leading to early hardware failure, and can cause computers to crash and corrupt software and data. Most new product warranties do not cover power surge damage.

A Joule is a unit of energy absorbed by a surge protector. The higher the Joules rating on the MASTERPLUG SWSRG6XN, the better the protection it offers.

The Maximum Surge Current (A) is the maximum non-repetitive surge that can be discharged by the surge protector. With the MASTERPLUG SWSRG6XN, the higher the amperage, the better the protection.

This is the voltage level at which the surge protector cuts off the power surge. For the MASTERPLUG SWSRG6XN, a lower clamping voltage indicates better protection for your equipment.

The MASTERPLUG SWSRG6XN protects all three channels: between live and neutral (L-N), neutral and earth (N-E), and live and earth (L-E). Many other surge protectors do not have these three electrical circuits for maximum protection.

Yes, the MASTERPLUG SWSRG6XN is equipped with a safety thermal cut-out. Repeated low surges over a period of years or one high surge can cause components in the surge protector to degrade, which can lead to a rise in temperature and combustion. This safety feature protects against such events.

The Surge ‘Neon’ Indicator on the MASTERPLUG SWSRG6XN lets you know if the surge protection circuit is working. If the circuit fails, perhaps after discharging a maximum surge, you need to know so the extension lead can be replaced. This indicator ensures you are aware if your connected equipment is actually protected.

All Masterplug Surge Protectors, including the MASTERPLUG SWSRG6XN, respond in less than 10 nanoseconds (10 thousand millionths of a second). This is fast enough to protect your equipment from surges.
