No, not every surge protector will work properly in both 110 and 220V. Some surge protectors are designed to work with both voltages but others support just one.
One can purchase a surge protector home theater at various places both online and in store. These places include: Amazon, Best Buy, Home Depot, Future Shop, and Phillips.
EDIT: Actually, the gaming console and TV seem to now both work fine when plugged into a third outlet. I had previously tried plugging them both into the next nearest outlet and got the same result (tv turning off and on, console not properly booting) but when I plug them both into an outlet on the other side of the house they seem to work normally. When I plug a *different* TV and *different* gaming console into one of the problem outlets the different TV and console seem to work normally. What could explain this?
There is no power to it. The 'protected' light indicates that the filter circuit is operational and has power to it. The 'grounded' light indicates whether a device is properly grounded. But it still needs power to the surge protector to light it.
No relationship exists between a GFCI and a surge protector. GFCI protects a human. Surge protector protects a transistor. Most transistorized appliances already contain some robust surge protection. A protector is often unnecessary except for rare events that might occur maybe once every seven years. GFCI is essential to protecting humans especially in locations that have water such as bathrooms and kitchen. GFCI is so important in some locations as to be required by safety codes for over 40 years.
In their simplest forms, neither a surge protector nor an un-interruptable power supply provide any power conditioning. Both have specific tasks to perform. A surge protector is designed to prevent voltage spikes being passed along a power line and is set to trigger at a certain threshold voltage. A UPS is designed to deliver power to a device or to a mains circuit in the event that the incoming mains power supply fails. Both surge protectors and UPS systems can have power conditioning components included but a study of the detailed data sheets will be needed to establish whether or not a unit has such a function.
Both are fairly apt descriptions of the device's function, and are generally interchangeable. They "suppress" surges by attempting to regulate the power flow to devices connected to them. They "protect" the devices from destruction up to and including its own demise.
If it is a surge protector, then it often has two lights. This optional second light reports a defective safety ground. Always required first light reports protector circuits have disconnected to avert a house fire. Some glow when OK. Others glow when a failure has occurred. Consult the manufacturer's instructions. A power strip typically has only one light to indicate power. Both protector and non-protector strips, if minimally safe, feature a circuit breaker that disconnects all lights and receptacles.
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protects against electric shock by quickly shutting off power when it detects a ground fault, such as current leakage. A surge protector protects against voltage spikes by diverting excess electricity to the ground. Both devices help prevent electrical hazards, but in different ways.
Yes, the logitech S-150 speakers are designed for a computer. Both power and sound is through usb. This is one less wire to have to be plugged into the surge protector.
Assuming they haven't be fried by a surge, reboot both devices.
Both screws are brass because in the US you need two hots to get 220V. In a 220V only circuit you do not connect the neutral, only two hots and a ground. This is why 220V breakers are twice as wide as 110V and have two terminals instead of one.
Amp draw is always combined. 220V is uncertain if it is three phase or not, because there are both one phase and three phase applications of the 220V motor. In any case, the answer is always "combined".
