What else can I help you with?
Can you use two single phase surge protectors instead of one three phase surge protector?
No, using two single phase surge protectors in place of one three phase surge protector is not recommended. A three phase surge protector is specifically designed to protect all three phases of a power system simultaneously and provide comprehensive protection. Using individual single phase surge protectors may leave some phases vulnerable to surges and compromise overall protection.
What is the main use of surge protectors?
Surge protectors are designed to protect electrical devices from power surges or voltage spikes. They help prevent damage to electronics caused by sudden surges in electrical current, which can result from lightning strikes, utility grid switching, or other unforeseen events.
Is it safe to put a surge protector into a wooden box in order to hide all the cords on the counter?
I see no reason not to. As long as the surge protector is in good condition and the plugs that are connected to it have a snug fit. Most surge protectors have there own built in protection and if the whole unit is just plugged into the wall outlet the circuit breaker will trip if the surge protector faults.
Does surge protectors protect against electrical fires?
surge protector designed to protect electrical devices from voltage spike. A surge protector attempts to regulate the voltage supplied to an electric device by either blocking or by shorting to ground voltages above a safe threshold.
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

Can you use iPhone 4 screen protectors with an iPhone 4S?
Yes, the iPhone 4 and 4s models are the same size so all cases and screen protectors will fit the same.
What kind of a power adapter should I get if I am looking to protect against surges in three different computers all on one power adapter?
You can get a surge protector that's rated for three computers. Most surge protectors will be powerful enough to allow three computers to all shut down safely.

What is the difference in two surge protectors in series vs two in parallel?
Surge protectors in series will limit based on twice the voltage of one surge protector because, implied by Kirchoff's Voltage Law, voltage drop across components in series is additive.Surge protectors in parallel will protect based on twice the current of one surge protector because, implied by Kirchoff's Current Law, current through parallel components is additive. (Yes, I said "protect" instead of "limit" deliberately because this is a different situation.)However, the parallel configuration is problematic because it depends on the turn-on curve of the surge protector. If one turns on first, and limits the voltage to a specific value, the other surge protector might not turn on at all. In the general case, this will not be a problem, because the turn-on curve does not have a vertical slope, but it would be advisable to consult the device specifications before contemplating this configuration.
Surge protectors necessary for plasma tv?
yes. because if a lighting bolt hits the power line your tv will get little white dots all over the screen. this happens because to much power is going threw it at one time

What unit of measure is used to describe the amount of work a surge suppressor can do before it stops protecting from electrical surge?
There are 3 items that can be used for surge suppression measurements. Most of the plug in strips use Joules as a measure but this can be very misleading. Joules is a measure of energy. Energy is current (amps) times voltage (volts) times time (seconds) or E=I*V*t. Voltage during a surge is critical in determining if downstream equipment is protected. So low voltage rating are important. Current during a surge is important as this is a measure of how many amps are flowing diverting the surge from the downstream loads. So high surge current rating are important. Time is not generally critical, but is determined by the characteristics of the surge. For standard surge testing, the time is identical for the same waveshape. So Joules appears useful at first glance because it incorporates voltage and current in one measure. However, one can increase the joule rating by increasing the voltage (bad) while decreasing the current (also bad). Joules can also be manipulated by using waveforms that are not standardly used in the industry. So rather than use Joules, it is much better to look at the voltage during a surge and the maximum surge current a product uses and ensure the testing is with a recognized standard surge waveform.
Is All power strips have surge protection?
No. If they do, then they will be labelled as having surge suppression.
What are the benefits and considerations of whole home surge protector installation?
Whole home surge protectors provide protection for all electrical devices in a house from power surges, which can damage electronics and appliances. Benefits include increased safety, protection of expensive equipment, and potential cost savings from avoiding repairs or replacements. Considerations include the initial cost of installation and the need for professional setup to ensure effectiveness.
