Surge protectors for marinas are devices that are designed to protect boats and other vessels from electrical surges and transient voltage spikes that can occur on the electrical supply system. These surges can be caused by a variety of factors, including lightning strikes, power grid disturbances, and other electrical anomalies.

A surge protector works by diverting excess voltage and current away from the connected equipment and into a grounding system, thereby preventing damage to the equipment. Surge protectors can be installed on the marina's electrical supply system to protect all connected boats and vessels, or they can be installed on individual power pedestals to protect individual vessels.

When selecting a surge protector for your marina, it is important to consider a few key factors, including:

Capacity: The surge protector should be capable of handling the maximum current and voltage levels that are present on your electrical system.

Response time: The response time of the surge protector should be fast enough to divert the excess voltage before it can cause damage to connected equipment.

Type of protection: Surge protectors can provide protection against both high-voltage spikes and low-voltage surges, so it is important to choose a device that provides the appropriate level of protection.

Installation: Surge protectors can be installed on the main electrical service panel, individual power pedestals, or directly on boats and vessels. The method of installation will depend on the specific requirements of your marina and the vessels that are being protected.
