Packard Surge Protector, 120/240V, 72,000A

The PSP72KA Packard Surge Protector (120/240V, 72,000A) is a heavy-duty surge protection device built to help protect HVAC and other critical equipment from damaging electrical transients. Designed for split-phase 120/240VAC systems, it features a weatherproof enclosure and a parallel connection for straightforward installation. A diagnostic LED provides clear indication of power, ground presence, and surge protection status, and the unit automatically resets to handle multiple surge events over time. It’s Made in the U.S.A. and commonly used at A/C disconnects, small electrical panels, and pool/well pump circuits.
