UPS system provider Tripp Lite has introduced a surge protector, which it claims will save energy.
The ECO-SURGE SK 10TG Surge Suppressor protects any plugged in electrical device from power surges, including shutting power off to potentially dangerous devices, such as electric heaters.
The device is the first surge protector that also features an energy saving timer to cut off power to plugged in devices that are left on overnight, this prevents energy being wasted via phantom loads.
The shut off timer can be set at one, three or six hours.
