Hi,

GFCI's have some surge protection built in to protect them from surges
in house wiring. Does this same surge protection extend a bit to
protect what is pluged into a GFCI? I guess this may be a dumb
question in that I know that there are surge supression receptacles
out there, but those ones cost about 2.5 times a GFCI receptacle. Can
I get a "cheap" surge supressor in installing a GFCI?

Best, mMike.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you very much for all your kind suggestions. I think I will get
myself some Point Surge Protectors. I already have a Lightning system
(big copper wires and Franklin Rods), and Surge Arrestors on the Power
panels.

The ones I was thining of getting were the Leviton 8280-W Duplex
Decora Surge Receptacles. They are I think designed for Hospital use
and had an alarm to tell you when they no longer protect. I think
there is a cap on E-bay selling them for about $US 18-20 each.

Thank you again for your kind help.

Warmest regards, Mike.
