User questions & answers

Question:	is it two prong or three prong? can't see it in the picture
Answer:	All power for this device comes from the TOP outlet of your receptacle -- so if that is switched then all outlets on this device will be switched (or if your bottom outlet is switched then all outlets on this device will NOT be switched).
Question:	What are the actual dimensions of this unit
Answer:	My outlets are flush with the cover plate surface. Both the outlet and cover plate surfaces stand proud of the wall surface about 3/16". After I remove the center screw from the cover plate , install the new wall plug adapter into the original plug [with or without the original wall plate] the new wall plug adapter does not contact the wall surface. It is about 1/8" to 3/16" gap between the wall and the rim of the new wall plug adapter. I don't like this because the result is a wiggly assembly, does not feel solid or secure even though it is firmly screwed into the old, pre-existing outlet. It the new wall plug adapter had a deeper recess on the back [wall] side it would not have this gap and would feel much more secure.
Question:	Will this work with half-switched outlets (where one outlet is always live and one is switched), or do all the outlets get power from only one outlet
Answer:	Yes, in my experience, low draw. But noticeable if on solar power.
Question:	Can this actually completely replace the existing outlet wall plate, or does it only plug in/screw on TOP of the wall plate
Answer:	Hello. I have had mine installed for about six months and have not had any problem with the USB chargers working.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you remove the back so it sits flush to the wall
Answer:	Most of the time, receptacles are about 1/8 to 1/4" out from the sheet rock. You can't remove the back of this, therefore it will not sit flush to sheet rock. Not a good design. I don't like the gap between the wall and this unit.
Question:	Can you keep the usb charger plugged in even if you are not charging a device
Answer:	Yes sure you can keep it plugged in. The USB port is controlled by smart IC, It will use almost zero energy when not charging.
Question:	is this UL listed
Answer:	No, it is not. ETL listing is less generally/broadly considered stringent than UL listing, though there are standards in place.
Question:	How do you know of any of the surge suppression components have been blown? Good quality surge suppression gives a status light. Does this one
Answer:	If the surge protection components are not working, the night light and USB ports will lose power and stop working. So if they’re working fine, it means the surge protection is working normally. Our main surge protection component is GDT, which has large energy absorbing capacity, and is very durable.

Electrical Surge, Surge Protection Components & Surge Protection Circuits

What causes an electrical surge?

In stormy weather, when thunder happens close to the transmission line, the conveying circuit will create induced surge voltage. This can also occur when a large electric device is turned on in the power circuit. Both types of induced surge voltage can interfere the electric devices connected. The first type can damage the devices.

Frequently used surge protection components

Surge protectors can be added to the power circuit to prevent the damage. The surge protectors are constructed with different types of surge protection components. The most frequently used ones are MOV, GDT and TVS. MOV has medium energy absorbing capability and response time, so it is widely used in simple surge protection circuits. GDT has large energy absorbing capability but longer response time; TVS has response speed less than 1Ns with small energy absorbing capability. All three of them are used together to construct professional surge protection circuits.

POWRUI 3-Level Surge Protection Circuit

POWRUI is one of the few Surge Protector makers which uses TVS, MOV and GDT to make 3-Level Surge Protection Circuit that absorbs the energy in steps, providing the best protection of the electrical devices from voltage spikes. When the power surge occurs, TVS responses within 1ns to suppress the unwanted voltages to the safe threshold. Then after several ns, MOV starts to continuously absorb energy. Within a few hundred ns, GDT works to ground a large amount of surge voltages, then triggers the circuit breaker to break the circuit and completely protect the devices.

The advantage of this kind of circuit is large energy absorbing capability which could reach 1,000 – 10,000 joules with <1ns response time. But the cost is high.

Other Brands 1-Level Surge Protection Circuit

Most of other surge protector makers use 1-level MOV parallel circuit, that connects multiple MOV components with surge protection functions to certain joules. The advantage is simple circuit and low cost which can meet the surge protection needs to under 1000 joules. But the energy absorbing capability is low with slow response time, that can only be used on basic surge protector.

Wide Space

Wide space: 6 AC outlets built-in 1680 Joules surge protector with 2.1 inches long space in between, larger than standard 1.5-inch socket. Larger spacing makes it easier to use for all kinds of equipment.

2 Smart USB ports (Total 2.4A) can charge your smart device quickly.

Smart Night Light:

With Dusk-To-Dawn Sensor, automatically turns on only when ambient lighting becomes insufficient.

With touch sensor, three levels of adjustable brightness let you choose the right amount of light for your own needs. You could also choose to turn on/off the nightlight manually

Simple Installation

User questions & answers

Question:	How many inches across is it? Across the 3 prongs
Answer:	Hi Phossi, thank you for your question. Our GE 3-Outlet Adapter Wall Tap is approximately 3” across. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to give us a call between the hours of 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM Central Standard Time, Monday through Friday at 1-800-654-8483. Thank you.
Question:	Is this a surge protector? I see it listed in the name, but no where in description or details doesnit mention it
Answer:	I don't see any mention surge, lightning or overvoltage protection mentioned in the name "GE 3 Outlet Adapter Wall Tap, Grounded Outlets, Indoor Rated, 3 Prong, UL Listed, White, 52203." The case is sealed so I can't readily disassemble the wall tap to see if surge protection circuitry but I have no reason believe the unit has any voltage or current limiting capability.
Question:	Is this adapter pulling away from the wall, when you pull out the cord
Answer:	It depends on a couple things. If it fits snugly into the wall outlet, then it stays in place when you pull a cord out of it. That snugness depends on your specific wall outlet. The second thing is that it depends on how snugly the plug is that you put into this adapter. If that is snug, then it can pull the whole adapter out from the wall. In any case, all that you need to do is hold it with light pressure with one hand while you use your other hand to pull the cord out from it. Never assume that you can pull a cord out wityh just one hand when you are using ANY kind of adapter. Using two hands when necessary is no big deal...
Question:	Can I plug a surge protector into this Like a light phone charger and a heated blanket only
Answer:	I wondered if you meant blanket instead of "blacker". Still I'd keep the total of everything plugged into that under 1500w.

User questions & answers

Question:	can this be used for wi-fi or cordless phone range extender
Answer:	The answers given are mostly right, but there is confusion. However, I have pictures of this model (GE # 54947), AND I ohm'ed it out. (If I can't post here, I will follow up with a Review where I know you can post pictures.) For the GE model I noted, there are 6 metal prongs on the back side. Each has a Hot, a Neutral, and a Ground. Each set of 3 is INDEPENDENT of the other. If you had a standard duplex receptacle that, say, was wired with one of the outlets ON, and the other SWITCHED, then that pattern would be reflected on the front of the Adapter. One bank of 3 would be on, and the other bank of 3 would be switched. I verified this by ohmmeter.
Question:	How man amps is this unit rated for 15 or
Answer:	Yes it should work fine
Question:	Will this plug into a 2 prong outlet
Answer:	Yes, this is a drip proof motor and is usable outdoors.
Question:	There is conflicting informaton in the answers...does the unit serve the bottom three of its outlets via the bottom wall plug independently
Answer:	They are the same.

Electrical Surge, Surge Protection Components & Surge Protection Circuits

What causes an electrical surge?

In stormy weather, when thunder happens close to the transmission line, the conveying circuit will create induced surge voltage. This can also occur when a large electric device is turned on in the power circuit. Both types of induced surge voltage can interfere the electric devices connected. The first type can damage the devices.

Frequently used surge protection components

Surge protectors can be added to the power circuit to prevent the damage. The surge protectors are constructed with different types of surge protection components. The most frequently used ones are MOV, GDT and TVS. MOV has medium energy absorbing capability and response time, so it is widely used in simple surge protection circuits. GDT has large energy absorbing capability but longer response time; TVS has response speed less than 1Ns with small energy absorbing capability. All three of them are used together to construct professional surge protection circuits.

POWRUI 3-Level Surge Protection Circuit

POWRUI is one of the few Surge Protector makers which uses TVS, MOV and GDT to make 3-Level Surge Protection Circuit that absorbs the energy in steps, providing the best protection of the electrical devices from voltage spikes. When the power surge occurs, TVS responses within 1ns to suppress the unwanted voltages to the safe threshold. Then after several ns, MOV starts to continuously absorb energy. Within a few hundred ns, GDT works to ground a large amount of surge voltages, then triggers the circuit breaker to break the circuit and completely protect the devices.

The advantage of this kind of circuit is large energy absorbing capability which could reach 5,000 – 10,000 joules with <1ns response time. But the cost is high.

Other Brands 1-Level Surge Protection Circuit

Most of other surge protector makers use 1-level MOV parallel circuit, that connects multiple MOV components with surge protection functions to certain joules. The advantage is simple circuit and low cost which can meet the surge protection needs to under 1000 joules. But the energy absorbing capability is low with slow response time, that can only be used on basic surge protector.
