Power Quality Management Program

 

Whole House Protection

Power surges are sudden large fluctuations in voltage.  Surges are usually caused by lightning strikes, storms or damage to the Cooperative's power system.  The damages caused by these surges can be mitigated with the installation of surge protection devices.

Steuben Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. has designed a Power Quality Management Program (PQMP) to help our members protect their home appliances and electronics.

The PQMP has four levels of protection, when combined, they offer the best protection for your home.

The first level of protection is the HomeGuard meter base device.  It protects against external surge currents up to 65,000 amps.  It carries a 15 year product warranty and an up to $6 million connected equipment warranty for your major home appliances.  Microwaves and garage door openers need a separate device for protection.
