I’ve built a small office for myself with outlets all over the room. They are all on one circuit I’d like to protect them all with a single surge protector.
I imagine their should be some product similar to a GFI outlet that would protect itself and everything past it on the circuit. I could mount it next to my panel and run the wiring straight to it before continuing on to my office. But I can’t find such a device.
The two closest things I’ve found are a whole home surge protector which seems like overkill. And this outlet from Leviton which is a surge protector, but only for itself. It won’t protect anything else on the circuit.
I could obviously use a power bar with a built in surge protector but part of the idea of having a bunch of outlets around the room was to remove the need for a power bar and keep everything cleaner.
Does anyone know if what I’m imagining actually exists?
Amazing! That is exactly the product I was envisioning. Thank you!
Only downside is it’s not a very robust surge protector. It’s 820 joules if I remember correctly. We have one installed for our all in one washer dryer and fridge. No issues so far.
I saw that on the specs. It’s still better than nothing. Now I’ll have to see if it’s available in Canada. A quick search didn’t reveal anything but I’ll have more time to tonight.
