I have been using these :
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004K1YG0A/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Rated for 20-amps (2400-watts on 120v).
I am running right at 2000-watts on each one that I have. No issues.
They do require a 20-amp wall outlet... they have the 20-amp rated "sideways prong" plugs on them.
Topic: A good surge protector over to 2000w? (Read 211 times)
What are the specifications of the rig or rigs that you have and how much power do they draw at the wall? Also, what kind of receptacles do you have available for mining?
I just reviewed it well, and it does not help me for what I want ....
Can I use an air conditioning protector for a rig?

Given what he bought he is likely in the US. That said... I’m not sure an electrician would run a 220 100a line and say here you go and connect it to a standard receptacle.
OP, do you have pictures so we can figure out what you really have?
Did you just actually get a 100a sub-panel?

I hired an electrician, and installed 220 cables with 100A capacity
So you have 220Volts/100amp and you ordered a Surge protector with 15A/125V/1875W AC Rating
?
I think it will crap out on you if you run more then ~1200 watts on it. We had a couple different Belkin models with the same specs that didn't last a month.
These ones are the best we found (we have 6 of them running, some for over a year of constant ~1400-1600 watts around the clock). - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812120193
Once you get to the 2000w range you may be better off looking for PDUs rather then surge protectors. As was mentioned already most surge protectors you find for common usage are rated for 1800w or less, and in our experience most of those rated for 1800w can't handle much over 12-1400 watt without starting to trip on you within a few weeks.
Hi, I'm looking to buy a good surge protector. I'm looking for something that supports at least about 2000w.
If anyone knows a trustworthy model, I would appreciate it
A huge number of them. You can even buy an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). I advise you to choose from quite well-known brands such as AEG, APC.If anyone knows a trustworthy model, I would appreciate it
Do not buy cheap knockoff brands for power-related components. You will come to regret it at some point. The name brand stuff is always better and you will be able to get support.

What country are you in? Normally here in the US to do that you would do 3x 30A 240V lines... but that is only 90A...

Most consumer surge protectors (at least for the US) are not rated for more than 1,800 watts and given the 80% rule it wouldn't really be a good idea to max one out. If you have a lot of mining rigs, it is not really need to use UPS devices as you will likely never break even on them unless you have power outages all the time. The only UPS devices that handle 2000 watts require 30A circuits.
OP - What country are you in and are you looking to hook up multiple rigs to a single power strip or a single rig consuming 2000w?
Also - You can't 100% rely on a whole house surge protector. They work, I have one... but if a device on a circuit causes a surge it can impact other devices on the same circuit as the surge doesn't get shunted before it gets to the panel.
240v - If you are in the US and running 240v... you will need to find 240v power strips. For example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076ZDTGJ6
Lastly - An important thing most people don't know about surge protectors... they loose their ability to protect over time as they protect you from surges and you don't really know it. So it is best to replace them ever few years...

Use any WHOLE HOUSE SURGE PROTECTOR
Pretty easy to install, but you need some basic skill and some safety information about how to deal with electricity
