Tripp Lite IBAR12-20ULTRA Isobar Surge Protector 12-outlet

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE IBAR12-20ULTRA is a heavy-duty Isobar surge protector and power distribution unit (PDU) designed for professional installation in commercial and industrial environments. It provides 12 individually protected outlets and operates on a 20-amp circuit, making it suitable for powering sensitive electronic equipment, AV systems, and networked infrastructure. The unit delivers Isobar-grade surge suppression, which uses a series multi-stage filter design to isolate outlet banks and prevent noise and transient spikes from affecting connected loads. Electricians and low-voltage installers specify this unit where reliable, conditioned power distribution is required in a single rackmount or strip form factor.

This PDU is used in commercial server rooms, data closets, broadcast racks, and AV equipment installations where multiple devices must be protected from power surges and line noise simultaneously. It is rated for use on 20-amp branch circuits and is appropriate for facilities requiring centralized power distribution with surge protection built in. Installation is handled by licensed electricians or qualified low-voltage technicians following NEC guidelines for branch circuit loading and outlet placement.

• 20-amp circuit rating supports higher-draw commercial loads
• Isobar multi-stage series filter design isolates outlet banks to prevent inter-device interference
• Designed for rackmount or permanent installation in professional environments
• Sold as an individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install surge protector PDU for commercial and industrial power distribution applications requiring a 12-outlet, 20-amp configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for branch circuit loading, ensuring the branch circuit supplying this unit is rated at 20 amps and properly protected. Disconnect power to the branch circuit at the panel before making any hardwired connections or mounting the unit. Do not exceed the rated amperage of the unit or the connected branch circuit. Verify that all connected equipment loads are calculated and balanced prior to energizing the circuit.
