Bud's own citations demonstrate why real world protector
manufacturers sell 'whole house' protectors. How to identify a real
world protector? 1) Product has the dedicated earthing wire for that
'less than 10 foot' connection. 2) Manufacturer discusses earthing.
Bud who promotes for a 'mythical protector' manufacturer will not even
deny his own citations. Bud has posted in hundreds of posts how
earthing is not required - how his 'magic box' protector will somehow
stop or absorb what three miles of sky could not.

And so we go to his own citations where a plug-in protector puts
8000 volts through the adjacent TV. He cannot even dispute that a kid
with an Xbox may completely compromise 'plug-in' protection.

Bud says we must educated kids so damage is not created when they
connect that Xbox. Bud says we must install $2000 or $3000 of plug-
in protectors - one on every appliance - so that the damage on page 42
Figure 8 does not happen. What do real world protector manufacturers
do for less money? They install and earth one 'whole house'
protector. A solution even sold in Lowes and Home Depot for less than
$50. A solution not provided by manufacturers such as Monster Cable.
Responsible manufacturers that sell 'whole house' protectors are
Cutler-Hammer, Square D, Leviton, GE, Intermatic, Siemens and
others. Where in that list are plug-in protector manufacturers such
as Monster Cable? Well responsible manufacturers don't sell 'magical'
speaker wire for $60 either. But Bud recommend thousands of dollars
of plug-in protectors just so one protector does not 8000 volts
destroy the adjacent TV - as on page 42 Figure 8.
