No. If they do, then they will be labelled as having surge suppression.

Will all appliances plugged into a non surge protected powerboard be surge protected if the powerboard is plugged into a surge protected powerboard or PowerPoint?
Starting at the surge protection device every thing down stream from it will be protected. Any thing up stream from the surge protection device will not be protected.
Can a power strip be considered a GFCI protection?
A spike demonstrated in that picture is so tiny as to be called noise. All electronics already contain protection that makes that irrelevant. And that makes most surges irrelevant. The concern is another type of surge (caused by lightning or a stray car) that can overwhelm protection already inside appliances. Protector adjacent to a TV does not claim to protect from that type of surge. Another and completely different device (also called a surge protector) to protect from typically destructive surges is located at the service entrance (ie in a breaker box or behind the meter). This makes an essential, short connection to earth ground electrodes. Then a surge current is not inside the house hunting for earth destructively via a TV or any other appliance. You can plug your TV into a surge protector. But that protector also needs protection by another protector that makes the short connection to earth.
What does brown-out protection mean?
I am no expert at all, but it is like the opposite of power-surge. So the electrical power is reduced which may mean that your electrical devices and appliances may be damaged if a brown-out occurs. It is also related to a 'black-out' when all power is lost (black-outs are safer for your electronics and appliances because mostly it is just like turning them off at the wall socket). You should have a power protection board that protects you from brown-outs (low voltage) and power-surge (high voltage).
Why won't my Nintendo Wii work after a power surge?
Your power cord probably was damaged during the power surge. This is why it is important to unplug all electronics during storms with lightning or always have things plugged into a surge bar.
What is minimum recommended surge protection for an iMac?
First of all look for a surge protector with a UL (Underwriters Laboratory) rating. If it does not have one you can rest assured is junk. But just because it has one does not mean is an excellent surge protector. Be sure that the product is listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor. Get a surge protector with a minimum of 1200 joules. Normally the more money you spend the better protection you get but, that is not necessarily always the case.
Building codes require that all electrical receptacles near plumbing or water have surge protection devices safety covers for child protection ground fault circuit interrupters or all of these?
Yes, building codes require that all electrical receptacles near plumbing or water have surge protection devices safety covers for child protection. For more information on dads.state.tx.us/Handbooks/nfr-lmc/D/index.htm
What if surge protector had high resistance?
If a surge protector had a very high resistance at all voltages, the wires in the surge protector would short out. It would kick off the protector and make it useless. A new surge protector would need to be purchased.
What type of computer protection device will protect against spikes and surges?
You can use two different types of devices depending on the type of protection you need. If you are simply trying to prevent the computer from being damaged you would use a surge protector, while if you were trying to protect it from turning off as well you would use an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) which is more expensive. You should be aware however, that a surge from a lighting strike can also travel through networking wires as well, and for complete protection, you should have those go through a surge protector as well.
Can a window air-conditioner unit break from reveiving a power surge?
any air canditioner can break from receiving a power surge, usually what a power surge will do is blow the run capacitor...Lightning storms cause this problem a lot...thats why i tell all my customers to turn their ac off when a bad thunderstorm is passing through their area...it is possible also for the compressor or fan motor to be seriously damaged if there is a power surge
Where can i buy shipping labels in bulk?
Nowadays there are many places to buy power strips that range in all sizes. A common place would be www.officedepot.com, www.acehardware.com, or www.staples.com. These are all reliable places to purchase power strips.
Why do your electric lights flicker and appliances not work sometimes?
