Surge Protection

Can the meter-based systems protect my electronic equipment, too?

Meter based surge protectors act as primary protection for the building, and offer a level of protection to all equipment in the facility. However, they only protect the electrical service. Surges may appear on other systems entering the building such as the telephone system and the cable TV system, or branch circuits from the electrical system to outside lighting and signs. Secondary surge protection is recommended for electronic equipment at the point of use that protects all electrical and data connections to the equipment.
