New Protective Power Products Using a 50 Amp Power Source - SS2CB520 and SS2CBF520
Posted by Stephanie Junek on
AC WORKS® has brought you two new protective power adapters. The power source for these adapters is a 50 Amp outlet. The concern about this by many of our customers is that the outlet will carry too much power to their equipment causing it to burn out. The solution we came up with is the addition of the 20 Amp breaker. The breaker helps to reduce people's concerns about a power overload to their equipment by only allowing the necessary 20 Amps of power through the adapter.

It’s usually not significant with lower wattage or lighter duty appliances, but it is much more noticeable with heavier-duty equipment. To help reduce voltage drop, we created a heavy-duty cable with 12 gauge wire that is normally used with 20 amps and a super duty cable with 10 gauge wire that is normally used with 30 amps. The connections are still just for regular household usage, so the most...

What are the Differences Between Surge Protectors and Circuit Breakers?
Posted by Stephanie Junek on
There can be a wide variety of protective technology built into an electrical appliance, but the two most common are surge protectors and circuit breakers. So what is the difference between the two? Surge protectors protect your electrical appliances from voltage spikes. A voltage spike is when a cord or appliance exceeds the voltage it is rated for, resulting in permanent damage to your appliance. The most common places you will see these installed are power strips like our PSROT-072. Usually, you will have computers, TVs, entertainment systems, and office equipment plugged into one of these. The most common cause...

Posted by Stephanie Junek on
Industry News Level 2 Charging Research We have had customers reach out to us in search of a level 2 charger for the Chevrolet Bolt/Volt models. We learned the vehicles only come with a level 1 regular household charging cable. The customers are trying to adapt to the 240V outlets they have. Currently, we do not have a product that will adapt to a level 2 charging ability. As you read this, we are researching and planning ways we can adapt their cables and bring them a solution. Besides the level 1 charger, the other charging option offered by Chevrolet...
