Protect your PetSafe dog fence system from lightning surges and spikes. Lightning strikes, even miles away, can create powerful surges or spikes which may damage your electronic in-ground fence. In nearly every case, damage to the transmitter results from power surges or spikes traveling through the boundary wire and not the power adapter. This protector is designed to protect your PetSafe In-Ground Fence from surges or spikes that can reach it via your AC power connection and/or your buried boundary wire. Trust PetSafe to help keep your pet healthy, safe and happy.

Title: Excellent product and the price is amazing
Review: Had a lightning strike and the perimeter brand one I had was 4x the price of this..it did its job but seemed very overpriced...happen to find this one and its much better made! It stays connected to the outlet, and while I like the added security of the screw, I have an adapter on my outlets so this does not work for my application unfortunately but the plug definitely stays secure in the outlet. The only negative really is the security screw did not come out as I did not want it installed as it was not useful as mentioned...I had to literally bend until it broke off to get it out as I did not want a screw accidently going into another outlet on my surge protector. if that makes sense...but it working as designed and the price is 4x cheaper than the one it replaced!

Title: My rowdy Labrador stays home now.
Review: Works well to keep dog within the wire. I have a aluminum fishing boat and if you park it close to the wire it moves the boundary of the fence. So what the instructions say is very true, beware boundaries around large metal objects.

Title: Easy install - Missing 1 Feature
Review: I bought this as a replacement for the exact same item that died from a lightning strike. The original did its job; it protected my house from a lightning strike. This item was a direct replacement. Functionally, 5 stars. It is missing one important feature. It doesn't have a status light. When the original failed, the only indication was that the dog fence wasn't working. I spent hours diagnosing the dog fence to no avail. It turns out that the fence wasn't the problem, the surge protector was. It needs an indicator to say that it is healthy or dead.i would buy this again.

Title: Great Protection for Expensive Automowers
Review: The Husqvarana Automower instruction manual suggests disconnecting the boundary wires and power supply during an electrical storm. Good advice, but the way the connectors are made it is not that easy and not something you can do every day during summer thunderstorms. Who dares go out in the lightning storm to grab wires in the ground? Since automowers work on a radio transmitting wire in the ground just like dog fences then this looked like a logical use for the device. I was concerned that perhaps because there is a directional aspect to the boundary wire circuits that this device may not work, BUT it does! Mowers have been operating perfectly. I did pair the wires in same left/right sequence from transmitter and to the actual boundary wires and marked each wire carefully with a code to identify it in case I have to disconnect the system for some reason. The mower charging station is connected to the terminals on the surge protector indicated as "trannsmitter" which is one of the functions of the charging station. Also, on the automowers there is a third wire for the guide wire to steer the mower back to the charging station. This one wire is not protected, but it is also attached to the boundary wire at some point so hopefully this will provide some protection there too. The guide wire is not used in all installations, but one could buy one more of these surge protectors to protect that wire alone although it would also have to be plugged into an AC circuit with a ground. Time will tell if this will protect the expensive automower in the lightning center of the universe in NW Florida! I have holes in my driveway from lightning striking and dead trees all over the property that acted as grounding rods. We shall see. If this $30 device saves $1500 that would be a good deal, right? 🙂

Title: Cheap protection
Review: A surge protector is a must for you invisible fence. They all do the same thing and this was a great price and it has worked for others. I really won’t know how well it works unless it gets struck by lightning. I hope it never happens

Title: Worked great but I may have something that works just as good but cheaper.
Review: I purchased the PetSafe lightning protector on aug 4th 2012 after losing 2 base units to lightning and losing 85 dollars on each of those occasions I purchased the protector. The same day I received the protector I found a double fuse holder laying around in the basement and decided to try it also so that I would have double protection. I installed 2 fuses 1 amp in each holder and soldered the same wire that I used underground to the holder. I attached the 2 wires coming from my underground loop to one side and then connected wires from the other side of the fuse holder into the input of the protector. Well late last night almost 2 years later I finally got to try it out. Heard a loud lightning strike close to house, I got up the next morning went outside and heard the unit beeping, that is the sound it makes when it loses the loop. I checked the fuses and both were blown. I put two new fuses in and unit worked perfectly. It did not damage lightning protector or base unit at all. 2 fifty cent fuses is all that it cost me!!!

Review: Purchased because it’s important but I had to use the 20 wire. The thicker wire just doesn’t work well with this.
