Prime Wire Power Strip Repair
Repairing a failed Prime Wire 4 ft. / 12 outlet power strip w/ surge protector.
This was an easy and no-cost repair. Simply remove the failed components and put it back together. The unit had 4 GDR 20D201K 95J/200V MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistor) between Line and Neutral, one destroyed, one heat damaged. There were 2 more MOVs between line-ground and neutral-ground. One of those latter two had a Aupo P2-5A-F 115C Thermal Cutout Pico Fuse in series and the other one had an unrecognizable axial component in series that had severe heat damage. That last component needed to be replaced with a short jumper wire between the middle terminal on the breaker and the line output to the power strip.
I like this power strip design as the outlets are spaced 4"/100mm apart and allow for plugging in odd shaped devices. It also has the built-in 15A circuit breaker and it's got decent metal work and solid brass conductors inside.
