Will your electronics work if you turn off the circuit breaker to the surge strip?

The only way your electronics will work if you turn off the circuit breaker to the surge strip is if they are able to run on battery power. If the surge strip is connected to a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) as many commercial offices are, the electronics will stay operable until the circuit breaker is reset or turned back on if purposely turned off. If the utility service is off, the electronics will stay operable until the power is restored or the UPS power source fails.

Lowering Your Average Electricity Bill Per Month?

One of the best ways to lower your average electricity bill per month is to run all of your electronics through power strips that you can turn off at night. If the electronics are still plugged into the wall on their own, they will be using electricity all night long -- even if you have turned them off. Power strips have an on/off button that can cut off the charge, and they are not susceptible to this same problem. If a power strip is turned off, there is no current. Doing this can cut your electricity bill by a fifth.

Does an electrical receptacle draw power?

No the receptacle itself does not consume any power it is just a source of power. No amperage is used until the load is plugged in and turned on. Appliances plugged in with the switch in the off position draw no current. Devices that do not have an off- on switch will start drawing power as soon as they are plugged in. Once an appliance is switched on you are billed for the use of the electricity.
