Does using a invisible solution = do nothing?
A common conclusion was, "I have a surge protector and had no damage. That proves the surge protector works." So what protected all other electric devices also not damage? Invisible surge protector?
Similar jokes are routine among the more technical. Because this should have been obvious. If a protected appliance was not damage, then all other unprotected appliances must be damaged. Otherwise a conclusion about power strip protectors is bogus.
Moving on. What is to be solved? Anything on a power cord is already done better inside electronics. Furthermore, that power strip only claims near zero protection and near zero filtering. Read its spec numbers.
A first post defined what must be accomplished.
The rule is quite simple. Either that energy is harmlessly absorbed BEFORE it enters a building. Or that energy finds destructive paths to earth via household appliances. Only a homeowner makes that decision.
Soundbyte recommendations are useless. Because a useful solution must also say why it works. Meaning a problem or threat must first be identified. And with perspective (ie numbers).
Emotional bias has only confused things. Most know the first thing they were told (by advertising, a salesmen, or hearsay). Then try to dovetail that myth with above facts - to become more confused. First unlearn some widely believed myths about power strips and what protectors really do. It’s not easily to unlearn the first thing told.
Two completely different devices are called protectors. Did you know that? If not, then more confusion exists.
Another number was posted. An anomaly that should concern all occurs maybe once every seven years. I had a protector for four years without damage. So the protector must be doing protection? Of course not. Another example of bogus logic because perspective (numbers) were missing.
A solution used in any facility that cannot have damage is less expensive, is located distant from appliances, and close to what actually does protection of all AC devices. But again,
Either that energy is harmlessly absorbed BEFORE it enters a building. Or that energy finds destructive paths to earth via household appliances.
That is the problem and solution. But to understand it, first do a most difficult task. Unlearn some very popular and widely believed myths.
An invisible protector facetiously demonstrates that bogus logic contradicts over 100 years of well understood science. Requoted is what must exist to actually have protection.
The OP asked if that protector is good. Well, not one post even said why using manufacturer spec numbers or how a protector works. No reasons why mean a recommendation is probably as bogus as the invisible protector. Its manufacturer only claims to protect from anomalies that typically cause no damage. Meanwhile my invisible protectors are doing similar protection.
