"Recommendations for Power Surge Protectors"
I recently experienced a scary incident during a thunderstorm where sparks flew out of my old Dell XPS 15 9550 laptop, causing damage to the HDMI port and a cable matters ethernet adapter. While the ...
Number of outlets: Ensure that the protector has enough outlets for all equipment, taking into account the spacing of large plugs or transformer blocks.
Response time: The shorter the response time of the protector, the quicker it will react to surges and voltage spikes. An ideal protector should have a response time of less than 1 nanosecond.
Clamp Voltage: This is the voltage level at which the protector begins to shunt excess voltage. The ideal clamp voltage should typically be 330 volts or less.
Warranty and Equipment Coverage: Some protectors offer a warranty or insurance on connected equipment against damage caused by power surges.
