- Front-Mounted Circuit Breaker Reset Switch
- Surge & Overload Protection
- Protection Indicator LED
- EMI & RFI Filtering for noise-free power (Transverse mode: Greater than 26db, 200kHz to 10MHz)
- Energy Dissipation: 1700 Joules
- Peak Impulse Current: 12000A
- 8 AC Outlets

The PDS8u protects your delicate electronic equipment with a high-voltage varistor (MOV) surge and transient suppressor. The fast-acting suppression circuit responds in less than a nanosecond, clamping transient voltages to safe levels.
Operation
Maximum Load
The eight-circuit breaker protected outlets are rated at 15 amps, equivalent to 1800 watts at 120 volts. If the total load on the PDS8u Unit's outlets exceeds 15 amps, the circuit breaker will trip, cutting off power to your connected products. If this happens, reduce the load by unplugging one or more units from the PDS8u DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, then reset the circuit breaker switch.
USB Charger
Features a 2-port USB charger with 5V/3.1A total output (over voltage & over current protection). The charging port is only active when the main power switch for the PDS8u is in the ON position.
Power Switch
The PDS8u DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM has a master POWER switch. This switch glows when the unit is ON.
