SurgeX SA-20 Standalone Surge Eliminator, 120V/20A

Product Overview

The SurgeX SA-20 is a standalone surge protector built on Advanced Series Mode technology and Impedance Tolerant EMI/RFI filtration, delivering patented surge elimination and power conditioning for equipment that relies on peak AV performance. It's a compact option for protecting one or two pieces of 20A-rated AV equipment where a full rack power management system isn't required.

Product Description

The Standalone series uses non-sacrificial components that don't degrade or fail after absorbing a surge event, unlike MOV-based consumer protectors that wear out over repeated surges. The SA-20 carries a 20A/120V plug feeding 2 protected outlets, sized for protecting higher-draw AV equipment such as a power amplifier or a display with an integrated media player. It eliminates surge energy up to 6,000 volts without producing the harmful ground contamination or common-mode disturbances that can cause hissing sounds and pixelation on connected AV systems — a common symptom when a surge protector introduces its own noise onto the signal chain. That noise-free protection is the main reason SurgeX Standalone units get specified ahead of a display or DSP rather than a generic surge strip in rooms where audio and video quality matter. For AV system integration on individual 20A components in conference rooms, classrooms, or single-display installs, the SA-20 gives commercial-grade surge protection without the footprint of a rack-mount unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the SA-20 installed?
It plugs directly between the wall outlet and connected AV equipment — no rack mounting or network connection is required.

Will the SA-20 introduce any noise into my audio or video signal?
No. Its Impedance Tolerant EMI/RFI filtration is designed specifically to avoid the ground contamination and common-mode noise that can cause hissing or pixelation.

Does it need to be replaced after a surge event?
No. Advanced Series Mode is a non-sacrificial technology that doesn't degrade after absorbing a surge.

Can this protect a rack of equipment, or just one or two devices?
The SA-20 is sized for one or two 20A-rated devices; for full-rack protection with more outlets, see the Axess+ or Defender Series+ lines.
