Like the other two levels of protection, the class A rated are also evaluated in joules, clamping voltage, and response time. There are a number of these products on the market of various qualities. This level is designed to protect electrical equipment from smaller surges and spikes. Most units at the A level will exclude direct lightning as a covered incident in the manufacturers warranties.
