No relay surge protect here, the name "Isobar" says it; each plug has a dedicated wiring so that each item plugged in has full isolated protection. Especially useful when two components might draw power simultaneously just as a surge or spike hits. We have a laser printer in one plug and our copier in another. We could not use a regular surge protector, unless we had two, each one dedicated to one machine only. This Isobar is cost-effective and also indicates faults where an everyday surge protector more often than not does not tell you when it's lost it's full protection effectiveness.

Excellent Product & Warranty

I bought my first IBAR4 in the 1980's when I got my first computer while working at a software company. This is the one they recommended and I have never regretted it. When the original one from the 80's died, it was only a phone call and it was replaced under the lifetime warranty - I was ecstatic. We now live in a rural area with less than stellar electric service with many surges. Nothing has gotten through this surge protector. Highly recommend.

This thing is a tank

In 2000 I was working for a IT company, who deployed only these to their clients. The others I worked with swore by them. I purchased one, and, today, 15 years later, the only thing wrong with it is that the light in the lighted switch burned out. However it continues to protect and provide power without a hum or any problems at all. It really is a tank.

Two Problems

I received the IBAR4 today and immediately discovered two problems. First, the serial number on the unit did not match anything on the web site tutorial for locating the serial number. Second, I expected a heavy duty ground lug, but the only ground connection is an unlabeled small silver screw on the end of the unit where the power cord enters. Furthermore, there is no mention of this screw in the owner's manual. I had to call support to get answers to both issues.

after reading a lot of reviews & technical details I selected this product to protect my valuable electronics. I actually bought two of this ISO BAR 4 outlets . I am using one to protect my TV screen & Blue-ray player & the other to protect my laptop , modem , printer & speaker. it says on the back 12 amp maximum which means you can connect a lot of stuff without worry about the capacity. however it's featuring : Sturdy metal case (fire retardant), solid design , 330v clamp voltage , switch on/off , faulty circuit indicator, 4 outlet plug (protectors) , hanging slots (back). I got a couple of electricity disturbance during couple of thunder storms (I believe transformers got hit by lightening ) but my electronic devices survived & the two surge arresting units continue normal to work !!!
