Not really. They might help a little, but they are not surge protectors

Is it safe to attach a surge protecter to another surge protecter?

It is not recommended to attach one surge protector to another one because it could cause them to work against one another and not provide adequate protection.


What is a surge resistor?

A surge resistor is a resistor installed in a circuit to prevent a "surge" when conditions arise where a surge might occur. That might be a bit wordy, but that's the answer. Let's look at an instance where a surge resistor is used and see how it works. There are a number instances where energizing a circuit is followed by a surge of current. Like almost all the time. When that circuit "comes on" after the switch is flipped, current is flowing. And sometimes we need to place a resistor in series with the component or components that want to draw a ton of current on startup. We can look at a component that might just do that. Capacitors (caps) are sometimes fitted with something that limits a big shot of current when a circuit is energized. Caps, you recall, begin operation in the circuit of a modern equipment uncharged, and when these caps are first "seen" by the voltage source at the moment it's turned on, they look like a short circuit. Lots of current may want to flow. Jumping ahead, the cap sits in the operating circuit fat, dumb and happy "using" only a little current after things are going. But at startup, it needs to be checked to prevent it from "sucking up" (or sinking) too much current and overloading the supply. The surge resistor is on the job each time the circuit is energized. There are other applications for a surge resistor, but the purpose is the same - prevent "too much current" from flowing at a given moment so the circuit can transition into a "normal operating mode" (where current flow is more modest). The surge resistor is similar to a so-called current limiting (or, perhaps, ballast) resistor, but the name applied to the resistor in question might have more to do with the specific application.


Is it safe to have all 8 slots on my surge protecter occupied?

It would depend on the amount of electricity everything plugged into it uses, for example it would not be particularly safe to have 4 computers plugged into one surge protector as it could overload or flip the breaker.


What is a surge suppressor varistor?

A varistor is an electronic component used for surge suppression. It is also known as a voltage dependent resistor, but it acts more like two zener diodes reversed and placed in parallel. The majority of surge suppression devices use these. However, they don't work all that well for lightning strikes.

What type of surge protecter do you need for a water softener?

For a water softener, it's best to use a surge protector that is specifically designed for high-voltage appliances, typically rated for at least 15 amps. Look for a surge protector with a joule rating of at least 1,000 joules to effectively absorb power spikes. Additionally, ensure it has features like an indicator light to show protection status and may include noise filtering to enhance performance. It's also wise to check the manufacturer's recommendations for any specific surge protection requirements.
