It really does vary as to how much a surge suppressor costs depending on where you buy it from. They usually range from $15 to $25. Here is one site you can buy them: www.tigerdirect.com/.../category_slc.asp?...Surge%20Suppressors

How surge suppressor are rated?
In joules
Surge suppressor size for a pellet stove?
1000 j
The first measure you should take to help prevent damage against electrical problems?
A surge suppressor. Better yet,an UPS (uninterpretable power supply) with a built in surge suppressor.
Is a surge protector used for electrical fouls?
a surge suppressor or protector protects your equipment from spikes on the electrical line.
Why is it important to have an indicate light on a surge suppressor?
the circuitry inside the suppressor that handles a surge can burn out if a surge is too high or lasts too long; in which case the cord would continue to work without surge protection making the connection vulnerable.
What is difference between surge absorber and surge suppressor?
There is likely no difference. Neither is accepted terminology for a surge suppressive device (SPD). If these products have been tested by safety organizations such as CSA (Canada) or UL (US) or tested to international surge standards (IEEE, IEC), then they should bare the correct terminology, otherwise, they are not tested to provide protection to equipment during a surge. Surge Absorber acts as a load that utilizes the high current until it exhausts. but the surge suppressor diverts the high current into ground without reaching the sensitive parts of the circuit. Surge absorber degrades faster than a surge suppressor.
What device diverts extra electrical voltage on the line to the ground?
Surge suppressor
What is the purpose of a surge suppressor?
A surge suppressor or protector is used to protect electronic devices in case of voltage spikes. A surge protector works by limiting the amount of voltage supplied to the plugged in electronic devices by blocking or shorting to ground any voltage above the safe threshold.
What device protects a system against lighting strikes but does not protect against sags and brownouts?
A surge protector, also called a surge suppressor.
What unit of measurement is used to describe the amount of work a surge suppressor can do before it stops protecting the circuit form an electrical surge?
joules
Is it necessary to use an surge suppressor while testing a zener diode?
A: There is no reason if the source is stable
What is the difference between spike and surge in electrical systems?
Surge suppressor, as name suggests suppresses and regulates the voltage and makes the power constant in a case of a spike or surge. While a protector simply detects the surge and turns the unit off. Suppressor is good for things like computers, where you don't want to keep turning on and off.
