	~~Description~~ of ~~disassembly, construction details~~, ~~PCB markings~~, suppression ~~components, wiring, safety features,~~ and ~~observations~~.		The APC SurgeArrest Personal PER7T enclosure is secured using seven Phillips-head screws and can be opened non-destructively.

			Removal of the upper housing revealed an internal design considerably more sophisticated than many consumer surge protectors of the period. The unit incorporates dedicated circuit boards for surge suppression and telephone-line protection together with a full-length stamped-metal outlet-contact assembly.

			Electrical distribution is accomplished through a substantial brass outlet-contact assembly extending the length of the enclosure and serving all seven receptacles. Separate circuit boards are mounted within the enclosure to provide AC surge suppression and telephone-line protection functions.

			Unlike the archive's recently documented COXOC CO-001S, which relies upon a single MOV connected directly across the incoming AC supply, the PER7T utilizes a dedicated suppression assembly and significantly greater component density.

	~~Include analysis whenever possible:~~		The documented example utilizes an HRSA-manufactured SJT 14/3 power cord carrying UL file number E69167 and CSA file number LL52902. Internal wiring appears orderly and utilizes dedicated grounding conductors together with mechanical strain relief at the cord-entry point.

	* How does construction compare to earlier models?		Further examination of the suppression and telephone-protection assemblies identified additional component markings and circuit-board revisions discussed below.
	* Is the ~~design unusually robust or simplified?~~
	* What does it suggest about the target market?

Several deep scratches are present on the underside of the enclosure, particularly near the recessed serial-number area. The damage appears cosmetic and is consistent with long-term use or storage.

			The documented example utilizes a molded straight-blade NEMA 5-15P attachment plug connected to an approximately six-foot power cord.

			Unlike the archive's documented 1998 APC SurgeArrest Professional PRO7 specimen, which utilizes a right-angle attachment plug, the PER7T utilizes a conventional straight-blade plug design.

			Moderate wear is visible on the grounding pin, consistent with repeated insertion and removal during service life.

			The documented APC SurgeArrest Personal PER7T weighs approximately 1 lb 10.7 oz (757 g).

	~~Weight discussion~~ and ~~comparison with related products~~.		The weight places the PER7T between the archive's earliest and latest APC SurgeArrest Professional PRO7 examples. The archive's 1998 PRO7 specimen weighs approximately 1 lb 15.9 oz (903 g), while the 2006 and 2017 PRO7 examples each weigh approximately 1 lb 9.6 oz (726 g).

	~~[[File:Weight_Image~~.~~jpg\|center\|600px\|Artifact on digital scale~~.]]		The lower weight relative to the contemporary 1998 PRO7 may reflect differences in telephone-protection circuitry, filtering components, internal bus-bar construction, or overall surge-suppression architecture. Additional comparison will be possible following teardown examination.

			Despite incorporating seven grounded outlets, telephone-line protection, diagnostic indicators, and a six-foot power cord, the PER7T remains noticeably lighter than APC's professional-oriented PRO7 product of the same period.

	The APC SurgeArrest Personal PER7T combines seven grounded outlets, telephone-line protection, diagnostic site-wiring indicators, and APC's SurgeArrest surge-suppression technology within a compact consumer-oriented enclosure. Unlike the contemporary SurgeArrest Professional PRO7 family, the PER7T utilizes a wider enclosure layout and was marketed as part of APC's consumer-focused Personal product line.

			The APC SurgeArrest Personal PER7T combines seven grounded outlets, telephone-line protection, diagnostic site-wiring indicators, and APC's SurgeArrest surge-suppression technology within a compact enclosure shared with other APC seven-outlet surge-protector designs of the late 1990s. The model is particularly notable because it belongs to APC's consumer-oriented Personal product family while retaining many characteristics observed on contemporary Professional-series products.

Further comparison of the internal construction may reveal whether the Personal and Professional product families shared suppression circuitry or diverged internally despite their similar external appearance.

			The documented PER7T carries UL file number E111219, identical to contemporary APC SurgeArrest Professional PRO7 examples preserved by the archive. This suggests that both product families were evaluated under the same APC UL listing despite differing model designations and feature sets.

			The documented PER7T carries TVSS suppression ratings of 330 volts for line-to-neutral, line-to-ground, and neutral-to-ground protection paths. These ratings match those documented on the archive's 1998 APC SurgeArrest Professional PRO7 specimen.

			Regulatory and electrical information is molded directly into the enclosure rather than applied using adhesive labels. This approach permanently preserves rating and certification information and mirrors the construction methods observed on other APC products from the recall-era production period.

			Later APC SurgeArrest products documented by the archive increasingly relied upon adhesive labels for regulatory and rating information.

			The documented PER7T shares the same UL file number (E111219), TVSS ratings (330V across all protection modes), general enclosure architecture, wall-mounting provisions, and seven-screw construction observed on the archive's 1998 APC SurgeArrest Professional PRO7 specimen. The similarities suggest that APC's Personal and Professional product families shared significant engineering commonality despite their different market positioning.

The '''APC SurgeArrest Personal PER7T''' is a seven-outlet surge protector manufactured by [[APC]] (American Power Conversion) in 1998 as part of the company's SurgeArrest Personal product family.

The model combines seven grounded outlets, telephone-line protection, site-wiring diagnostics, and APC's SurgeArrest surge-suppression technology within a compact consumer-oriented enclosure. The documented example is particularly significant because it was manufactured during the production period later affected by APC's 2013 SurgeArrest recall and is accompanied by documentation indicating participation in the recall program.

As the first documented SurgeArrest Personal artifact preserved by the OldSurge Archive, the PER7T provides an opportunity to compare APC's consumer-oriented Personal series with the better-known SurgeArrest Professional family.

== Overview ==

The APC SurgeArrest Personal PER7T is a consumer surge protector intended to provide surge suppression and power distribution for personal computers, peripherals, modems, printers, and other home or office electronics.

The design incorporates seven grounded outlets together with APC's Protection Working and Site Wiring Fault diagnostic indicators. A rocker power switch is positioned near the cord-entry end of the enclosure, while an attached six-foot power cord provides flexibility in desktop and home-office installations.

The documented example is noteworthy because it represents APC's consumer-focused SurgeArrest Personal product line, a family that existed alongside the company's higher-end SurgeArrest Professional series during the late 1990s.

The artifact is also significant due to its association with APC's later 2013 SurgeArrest recall. Documentation accompanying the archived specimen indicates that it was submitted to APC's recall program in 2021, providing a rare example of a recalled surge protector with documented participation in the replacement process.

As the first Personal-series artifact documented by the OldSurge Archive, the PER7T expands the archive's APC coverage beyond the Professional-family products that presently dominate the collection.

== Historical Context ==

During the 1990s APC marketed multiple SurgeArrest product families aimed at different segments of the surge-protection market. While the SurgeArrest Professional series targeted users seeking premium protection and advanced features, the SurgeArrest Personal series was positioned as a more affordable consumer-oriented alternative intended for home and small-office environments.

By the late 1990s personal computers, dial-up Internet access, fax machines, and other electronic equipment had become increasingly common in homes and small businesses. Products such as the PER7T reflected growing consumer demand for affordable surge protection capable of safeguarding both power and communication connections.

The PER7T belongs to APC's recall-era SurgeArrest generation manufactured between 1993 and 2002. Products from this period were later included in APC's 2013 SurgeArrest recall after reports of overheating, smoking, melting, and fire-related incidents. The documented example's 1998 manufacturing date places it within the affected production range.

Compared with the contemporary APC SurgeArrest Professional PRO7 family documented elsewhere in the archive, the Personal-series design appears intended for a more consumer-oriented market segment. The enclosure utilizes a wider footprint, incorporates dedicated diagnostic indicators, and emphasizes ease of use while retaining APC's established SurgeArrest branding and protection technologies.

The documented specimen therefore occupies an important position within APC's product history, illustrating how the company differentiated consumer and professional surge-protection products during the personal-computing era.

New page

'''APC SurgeArrest Personal''' was a family of consumer surge protectors marketed by [[APC]] (American Power Conversion) during the 1990s and 2000s.

Positioned below the SurgeArrest Professional series, the Personal product line targeted home users seeking protection for computers, peripherals, modems, fax machines, and other household electronics. Models commonly incorporated multiple grounded outlets together with AC power-line surge protection and, on selected models, telephone-line protection.

The OldSurge Archive currently documents the seven-outlet PER7T model, a telephone-protection variant manufactured in 1998.

== Product Positioning ==

During the late 1990s APC marketed multiple SurgeArrest product families simultaneously. The SurgeArrest Professional series emphasized higher-end protection, while the SurgeArrest Personal series provided surge suppression for home and small-office environments at a lower price point.

Archived APC marketing materials from November 1999 identify the Personal series as part of APC's broader SurgeArrest product lineup alongside Professional, Notebook, Residential, Rackmount, and related protection products.

== Model Designations ==

Available evidence suggests that model designations within the Personal series used suffixes to indicate included protection features.

Examples include:

* PER7 - Seven-outlet SurgeArrest Personal
* PER7T - Seven-outlet SurgeArrest Personal with telephone-line protection

Additional models likely existed but have not yet been documented by the archive.

== Recall Information ==

Certain APC SurgeArrest products were included in APC's 2013 SurgeArrest recall program.

Archived documentation accompanying the archive's documented PER7T specimen indicates that the unit was submitted to APC under the recall program in June 2021 and replaced with a new-in-box APC SurgeArrest product manufactured in 2021.

Additional research is required to determine whether all Personal-series models were covered under the recall program or only specific production ranges.

* [[APC SurgeArrest Recall (2013)]]

== Recall Significance ==

The Personal series is historically significant because several models were included in APC's 2013 SurgeArrest recall affecting approximately 15 million APC 7-Series and 8-Series surge protectors manufactured between 1993 and 2002.

Affected Personal-series models included the PER7 and PER7T. The archive's documented PER7T specimen was manufactured in 1998 and falls within the affected production range.

== Historical References ==

[[File:19991117_apcc.com_archive.org_surgeproducts.png|center|700px|Archived APC surge-protection product lineup captured in November 1999 showing multiple SurgeArrest product families.]]

== Archive Observations ==

The Personal series appears to have occupied a distinct position within APC's surge-protector lineup. Whereas documented Professional-series products emphasize long production runs and extensive internal design evolution, the Personal series was marketed as a consumer-oriented alternative intended for home and small-office use.

Documentation of additional examples will help establish model relationships, feature differences, construction methods, and the long-term evolution of the product family.

			== Simplest Documented Designs ==

			Not all surge protectors utilized complex suppression circuitry. The archive presently includes examples ranging from sophisticated multi-component suppression assemblies to minimalist designs relying on a single metal-oxide varistor (MOV). The [[COXOC CO-001S]] is currently among the simplest surge-protection implementations documented by the archive and provides a useful reference point for understanding the lower-complexity end of the consumer surge-protector market.

	Many early devices relied primarily on metal-oxide varistors (MOVs), while later products incorporated additional filtering, telephone protection, network protection, status indicators, cable-management features, uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), and power-conditioning technologies.		Many early devices relied primarily on metal-oxide varistors (MOVs), while later products incorporated additional filtering, telephone protection, network protection, status indicators, cable-management features, uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), and power-conditioning technologies.

			The degree of complexity varied considerably between manufacturers and product lines. Some examples documented by the archive utilized dedicated suppression boards incorporating multiple MOVs, indicator circuits, and filtering components, while others relied upon a single MOV connected directly across the incoming AC supply. These differences illustrate the wide range of surge-protection approaches available to consumers during the personal-computing era.

	The examples documented by OldSurge.com span several generations of surge-protection technology, ranging from late-1980s surge suppressors through modern consumer products incorporating USB charging capability, advanced indicator systems, and contemporary surge-suppression designs.

			The COXOC CO-001S is a six-outlet surge protector dating to the consumer-computing era of the 1990s.

	~~The Globe Electric 12~~-~~003~~-~~7MS "Space Plug" is one of~~ the ~~most thoroughly documented wall~~-~~mounted surge protectors currently preserved by the OldSurge Archive~~.		Although externally unremarkable, teardown examination revealed an unusually simple design utilizing a single SAS 241KD14 metal-oxide varistor (MOV) as its sole surge-suppression component. Despite this minimalist approach, the unit incorporates a full 15-amp resettable circuit breaker, 14 AWG Apollo-manufactured power cord, and substantial stamped-metal outlet-contact assembly.

	~~Manufactured in April 2014,~~ the ~~unit combines six grounded outlets~~, ~~dual rotating outlet banks, integrated USB charging capability, and 2100-joule surge protection within~~ a ~~compact~~ direct~~-plug enclosure~~.		The artifact is also significant because manufacturer identification was established through a molded COXOC logo located on the attachment plug, providing a direct link to a manufacturer whose modern product line no longer prominently includes surge protectors.

	Documentation includes external photography, physical measurements, weight analysis, functional testing, complete internal examination, archived manufacturer literature, Amazon marketplace records, customer-review history, and long-term pricing data.		* [[COXOC]]
			* [[COXOC CO-001S]]
	The product illustrates how wall-mounted surge protectors evolved from simple outlet expanders into multifunction power-management devices incorporating surge suppression, USB charging, and space-saving cord-management features.
