Refrigmatic MEGA Electronic Surge Protector for Big Refrigerators

With most modern refrigerators, they are loaded with electronic control boards, lit touch panels, and so forth. A power outage, especially the type that goes out, and right back on are hard on your compressor as well as the electronic components. This unit, during a power outage, keeps the power off for several minutes to allow systems to be better suited to a restart. In addition this acts as a surge protector to further protect sensitive electronics from being burnt out or "fried" I have used these on our refrigerator and find them a good way to prevent high repair bills.

Product seems to work as advertised. The start delay worked and I am counting in the device chopping voltage spikes.

I experience a lot of brief power glitches, outages and brownouts where I live. My last fridge died twice when the power glitches fried circuit boards. I bought a brand new fridge and one of these Refrigamatic Mega Voltage Surge Protectors, and it's almost been 2 years without a problem. (Knock wood!) I saw this on a YouTube video and bought one right away - worth the purchase price!

Good

We had a bad electrical surge during Hurricane Beryl...it came right through our city north of Houston and messed up a few things electrical in our home. One thing it really ruined was our refrigerator with a surge. So, we had to get a new fridge and that's when we purchased this surge protector. Since we installed it, we haven't had any storms near that strength or with that much lightening etc. so I cannot speak for how it works during a storm or electrical storm, but it came on time, packaged nicely, looks nice and I am pretty sure that should we need it to work to protect our fridge, it will do it's job! Easy to install...just plug it in (of course lol). It also is a nice looking item.

This device passes the first surge through to your appliance and then disconnects if the voltage stays out of bounds. It is designed for power outages, not surges. When the power is restored, there is usually a big surge and because this device disconnects your appliance for an additional period of time after power is restored, that surge will not make it through. However, small transient surges will be passed through and they can be very damaging over time. You need an actual surge suppressor in addition to this device. A surge suppressor will have a rating in several thousand joules, which is the amount of surges that it can suppress before it stops suppressing and requires replacement. Note that this device has no such rating, because it doesn't suppress transient surges like a surge suppressor does. That's why this device is called a surge "protector."

So far it seems to be working okay (only a few hours). Our previous refrigerator was fried when the power was restored after a scheduled power outage. The only issue for this device is the placement of of the quick restart button. Our new refrigerator has one of those flat plugs where the cable is at a common 45 degree angle. That 45 degree angle has the edge of the plug going right over the quick restart button. I ended up adding a short appliance extension cord that points downward so that the button would be accessible and not accidentally pressed.

I like these point protectors. We have brown outs more often than I like and it is good to know that there is something protecting the compressor. Also we have a back up generator and it is helpful that on transition not all the loads in the house come back on at the same time.

Looks good, installed it and it did take a couple yof minutes to power back up. That's what it is supposed to do so all is good in refrigerator land. We will see what happens when the power goes out.

Preciso y 100x100 funcional, vale mucho más de los que cuesta

Asumo que es buen producto y desconecta y protege el refri a bajo voltaje. Y buen precio

Conforme à la description

Excelente producto, funciona muy bien, altamente recomendable
