Furman's claim to fame is their application to commercial or professional sound applications. They maintain nearly all of the market in professional sound reinforcement systems. Using the "guilt by association" model, one could draw the conclusion that if professional sound companies by a vast majority utilize and rely on Furman products to protect their systems, they will probably work for your home system as well. I'm not saying that their products will protect your system from a direct lightning strike but they are obviously reliable if they are the standard in professional applications. Let me make it clear that I have no affiliation with Furman whatsoever.
Environmental Potentials whole house surge protection, can I get your opinions?
I'd like to protect my whole house from surges rather than use individual units around the house.
The power on the NE is pretty good, but I know all it takes one bad zap. Have any of you installed this unit and do you think it works?

Well here are some numbers from Furman for the P-2400 IT that not only protects your equipment but provides clean balanced power as well..... Maximum Surge Current:6,500 Amps Response Time:1 nanosecond Spike Clamping Voltage:188 VAC peak @ 3,000 Amps and here's the link... http://www.furmansound.com/product.php?div=01&id=P-2400IT I guess in my mind if over 6500 amps gets past my Square D 20 amp breaker to my equipment in under 1 nanosecond then I just have to give up and call the insurance company. There are no absolutes. If the surge is due to a nuclear strike then you have much bigger problems than your audio equipment. Just sayin'! |
