Tronic Refrigerator Guard, 13 Amps

Our review

This Tronic device is a voltage guard rated at 13 amps, designed to sit between the wall socket and a refrigerator, freezer or comparable piece of equipment. Its job is simple: when the incoming power rises or falls outside an acceptable range, it disconnects the supply, because sustained high or low voltage can damage electrical and electronic appliances. It suits households and small businesses where the mains supply is uneven and where an expensive cooling appliance would be costly to replace. Before buying, check the current draw of the appliance you intend to protect and confirm that 13 amps is enough for it. Also think about how the guard fits your setup, since it adds a unit at the socket. Compared with a basic surge protector, which mainly handles brief spikes, this kind of guard focuses on sustained over- and under-voltage, so match the device to the problem you actually have. Available on Sokonia.
