For those with minimal reading and thinking ability, the point of the
illustration, as stated in the text, is "to protect TV2, a second
multiport protector located at TV2 is required". And the protector did
not do anything to the adjacent TV. It protected TV1 and lowered the
surge voltage at TV2 from 10,000V to 8,000V.

With 100 electronic appliances in a home, Bud says spend $20 or
$100 for each plug-in protector for every 100+ household appliances.
Especially important are protectors on each bathroom and kitchen
GFCIs, smoke detectors, furnace, and other human life safety
electronics.

Oh. Protectors cannot be installed there? Oh. That would be $2000
or $10000 for protectors? Yes. Because Bud promotes for those
manufacturers, then an effective solution is not relevant to Bud. He
needs you to spend multiple thousands of dollars.

Page 42 Figure 8 (8000 volts destructively through adjacent
electronics) may happen when using plug-in protectors too far from
earth ground and too close to transistors.

But then your 911 Emergency response center, telephone company,
local TV and radio stations, ham radio operators, etc ... they don't
use plug-in protectors because effective protection is required. They
install a properly earthed 'whole house' protector.

$1 per appliance for an effective protector - or $2000+ for
protectors that don't even claim to protect from typically destructive
surges. Bud recommends the $2000 and $10000 solution. He promotes
for plug-in protector manufacturers.

A protector is only as effective as its earth ground. Missing
earth ground means no effective protection as demonstrated by Page 42
Figure 8.

Bud lies about what responsible organizations recommend. Even his
own NIST citation page 6 (Adobe page 8) is blunt about what a
protector does - :
You cannot really suppress a surge altogether, nor
"arrest" it. What these protective devices do is
neither suppress nor arrest a surge, but simply
divert it to ground, where it can do no harm.

Divert it to ground. Earthing. An effective protector earths. Bud
tells us that earthing is not required - in direct contradiction to
his own citations.

Recommendations are in IEEE Standards. Multiple IEEE Standards
recommend earthing for protection. Bud hopes you never read these
numerous IEEE Standards. IEEE Red Book (Standard 142) is what Bud
cannot deny:
In actual practice, lightning protection is achieve by the
process of interception of lightning produced surges,
diverting them to ground, and by altering their
associated wave shapes.

Bud must deny Page 42 Figure 8 because a plug-in protector earths
8000 volts destructively through an adjacent TV. No earth ground
meant no effective protection - and 8000 volts destructively through
an adjacent TV. Informed consumers install and earth one 'whole
house' protector. Responsible manufacturers such as GE, Leviton,
Intermatic, Square D, Cutler-Hammer, and Siemens make 'whole house'
protectors which are even available in Loews and Home Depot even for
less than $50. Bud would have you spend how much? He promotes plug-in
protectors.
