Sekelo Refrigerator Surge Protector, Double Outlet Voltage Protector for Home Appliances with Time Delay, Protects Against Brownout, Spike, Instant Surge All Voltage Abnormalities
【Professional Surge Protection】: This device can save your time and money by protecting your refrigerator and other appliances from high and low voltage, spike, instant surge, power failure, voltage fluctuation, brownout, and load shedding, prolonging the lifespan of your refrigerator. Save on maintenance costs!
【Double Outlets】: One surge protector can protect two appliances simultaneously. Besides the refrigerator, you can also plug in your other appliances such as microwaves, water coolers, dishwashers, etc., saving on procurement costs!
【Real-Time Voltage Monitoring】: Real-time detection and display of voltage, current, and accumulated power. The protection status is clear at a glance, making it easier to use your appliances with peace of mind. The added bypass function allows the device to be manually turned on regardless of the detection voltage. Indicators for normal, high voltage (135VAC), low voltage (90VAC), and time delay provide comprehensive monitoring.
【Delay Function】: There is a 3-minute time delay once the power returns to normal after a voltage fluctuation, ensuring the voltage is stable before auto reconnecting. This prevents the appliance from switching on and off repeatedly during fluctuations and protects it from massive surges when power returns after an outage.
【Super Easy to Use】: Plug-and-play design ensures extremely flexible installation. After plugging in, it does not occupy space nor affect the use of other sockets. Ideal for fridges, domestic freezers up to 27 cu. ft., and other household appliances.

Nice product with a horrible instruction manual.
Sekelo Refrigerator Surge Protector, Double Outlet Voltage Protector for Home AppliancesI was looking for an uninterruptible power supply to protect my refrigerator but they were either too big or too costly. This seems like the perfect compromise. Installation is: plug it in to the wall, plug the fridge in to the device.The page of instructions was obviously written by an engineer. Even worse, I doubt that English was his first language. I learned the basics of house wiring in vocational high school, and yet these instructions are barely comprehensible. The biggest problem for me is that the device doesn’t seem to behave as described in the manual.For ex. The manual says…”The first normal power-on delays 1 second to automatically close; The powersupply is powered off under normal conditions, and the protector does not open.”I interpret that to mean that whenever AC is first applied to the surge protector, it will wait 1 second delay before allowing the two outlets to become electrically active. This gives it a moment to verify that voltage is within proper limits. However, it just doesn’t work like that. The nightlight I connected, as well as the fridge itself (the fan starts & the water dispenser lamp comes on) both start instantly. The whole manual is confusing in the same way.Construction quality of the unit seems great. Having a built-in digital volt/amp meter puts this model above similar units that just have some dummy lights. Plus, you can adjust the high/low limits to work best with your power supply. Our power company provides better than normal power quality. I have some power monitors, and voltage is almost always locked at at 125, so I set the lower limit way up at 100v.I haven’t had any power quality events yet so I can’t say anything about how the unit will respond. I did remove the back of the case to see what kind of components it contained. Other than a couple of relays & caps (and I think an MOV, I couldn’t get a good angle to view it), there isn’t much else of note. Oddly enough, there were no standard fuses that I could find. There probably is some fuses of some kind, I’m just not familiar with all the newer surface-mount parts to say.

Show volts and amps on unit. Can set min & max voltage, max amps, and seconds after outage. Nice!
I recently had a power outage during Hurricane Helene while I was sleeping. When I woke, the power was coming on for a second or two and then going off. This happened about 50 times before I realized I needed to cut the breaker off. My refrigerator did not like that one bit. This surge protector should stop that from ever happening again. It allows you to set the minimum and maximum voltage and the number of seconds. You can also set the maximum amps and the number of seconds for that setting. Finally, you can set the delay for the surge protector to come on after a power outage, from 1 to 120 seconds. The only thing to watch out for is section 3.4 in the manual. It says that when the first overcurrent occurs, the relay will close after the set time. When the second overcurrent occurs, you will need to manually press a button. If you are out of town for days at a time, you may want to pay attention to your current setting. My refrigerator runs about 1.4 amps. The highest I have seen it go is 7.8 amps. I left the current on 16 amps. If it hits that high twice, then something is wrong and I want it to shut down until I inspect it. I also think it is nice that it shows current voltage and amps on the surge protector itself. I have mine where I can peek at mine when I want. If it holds up and lasts, I recommend it.

It’s okay
I have two freezers plugged into the same outlet. It’s been a hard Sumner on our local electrical utility, with a number of short and long power outages. I figured this would reduce the wear and tear on the freezers.This isn’t a “plug it in and it does its job” device. It requires you to input assorted values, but the instructions on how to do so are EXTREMELY bad. Trying to get it set up required a lot of frustrating trial and error. I still don’t know if I did it right. I guess I’ll find out the next time the power goes out.

Easy to install and read
This seems to be a very nice programmable surge protector with a real time display and can be useful for many items besides home appliances. The LED display is easy to read and shows the voltage and current simultaneously. The high, low voltage, current cutoff as well as the reset timers are all programmable and allows for better matching with the connected devices. I have it hooked up to the fridge and narrowed the acceptable voltage window as well as lowered the current limit to something more appropriate as 16 amps for 20 seconds is way too long for most home appliances. The only concern I have is the need for a manual reset if consecutive “overload” events occur, which is not ideal for a fridge if you happen to be away for an extended period. I would’ve preferred an option to disable that and just let it function normally after normal voltage returns. Installation was pretty simple using the included adhesive pad for a non destructive mount to the tile under the upper cabinets. This keeps the unit out of the way as well as the display visible, although the fit is not very tight and allows the unit to rotate a bit too much. I might try adding some velcro pads to keep it level. It also includes some wall anchors and screws in case you just want to permanently mount it on drywall. This seems like a decent and inexpensive way to add programmable brownout and over current protection to just about any typical home appliance or electronic device.
