This information is the sum of the maximum leakage current of the protective components used. The higher this value is, the greater an overvoltage can be without destroying the protective device or the more frequently smaller overvoltages can be discharged without being destroyed. In other words, the performance and service life of the surge protective device increases with these ampere ratings.
Protect devices according to their value: The higher the quality of the electronics, the higher the leakage current should be!
Level 1 (13,500 A): “For standard appliances such as kettles or mixers.”
Level 2 (19,500 A): “For computers and monitors.”
Level 3 (26,000 A): “For more expensive appliances such as televisions or soundbars.”
Level 4 (30,000-120,000 A): “For particularly high-quality appliances such as home theater systems or high-end PCs.”
