The APC Essential SurgeArrest 5 Outlet 230V (PM5-UK) is a specialized power strip designed to protect sensitive electronics from high-voltage spikes and surges, which are common in the Nigerian power grid. Unlike standard extension boxes, this unit features a Fail-Safe mode—if the internal surge-protection circuitry is compromised by a heavy strike, it disconnects the equipment from the power source entirely to prevent damage.
