Protect Electronics

Protect Electronics Your electronic equipment is valuable. Our devices protect your equipment from the hazards of lightning strikes or other electrical surges, spikes and momentary interruptions. Jackson Electric Cooperative stocks and sells a variety of devices. There's one that is just right for your application.

Point-of-Use Surge Protector
This device plugs into an electrical outlet and protects only the equipment which is plugged into the surge arrestor.

Whole-House Surge Protector
These are devices which are installed on the electric meter socket. They provide whole-house protection. Electrical surges can originate inside buildings, as well as enter through such things as antennas and telephone lines. To assure optimum protection on your most sensitive electronic devices, supplement a whole-house surge protector with point-of-use surge protection.

The Panamax® brand of surge protectors sold by Jackson Electric Cooperative are guaranteed for life and include at least $100,000 of connected equipment warranty. The Surge Cube™ and Master Cube™ devices are also guaranteed for life and include $50,000 of connected equipment warranty.

UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)
UPS devices provide protection from surges and spikes, but also offer additional features of power conditioning and outage protection, especially desirable for computer applications. In the event of an outage, the UPS device continues to supply input electrical power to allow an orderly shutdown of the protected equipment. Run times during an outage will vary according to the UPS model and the computer. Software can be loaded into the computer which will automatically close files, should a UPS battery become drained before there is restoration of utility power.

The entire line of Powerware UPS devices are available from Jackson Electric Cooperative. All Powerware UPS devices include a $25,000 equipment replacement guarantee, should your equipment be damaged by a voltage spike. Prices start at $89.00 for the model 550 U.
