For those with minimal reading and thinking ability, the point of the
illustration, as stated in the text, is "to protect TV2, a second

not do anything to the adjacent TV. It protected TV1 and lowered the
surge voltage at TV2 from 10,000V to 8,000V.


A protector is only as effective as its earth ground.
Statement of religious belief in earthing. The IEEE says plug-in
suppressors work primarily by clamping, not earthing.

Bud lies about what responsible organizations recommend. Even his
own NIST citation page 6 (Adobe page 8) is blunt about what a
protector does - :
Ho-hum - repeating from the last post, the NIST guide says plug-in
suppressors are" the easiest solution".


Divert it to ground. Earthing. An effective protector earths. Bud
tells us that earthing is not required - in direct contradiction to
his own citations.
Religious belief in earthing #3. The question is not earthing but
*only* whether plug-in suppressors are effective. Both the IEEE and
NIST say they are.


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)
Because the IEEE guide contradicts w_'s religious view he has to
discredit it. But you really have to be stupid to think the IEEE
would publish a guide that contradicts the IEEE color books.

The IEEE guide, pdf page 4, makes it clear that the guide is peer-
reviewed within the IEEE and represents the views of the IEEE.

make 'whole house'
protectors which are even available in Loews and Home Depot even for
less than $50.
Geez - Loews and Home Depot are in the UK?? Can you pay in $$??


Both the IEEE and NIST guides say plug-in suppressors are effective.

Still never seen - a link that say plug-in suppressors are NOT
effective. Just w_'s opinions based religious beliefs.

The central US gets warm humid air (high energy content) from the Gulf
of Mexico which collides with colder air from Canada. The result can
be strong thunderstorms which, in extreme cases, form tornadoes which
are small diameter but can have stronger winds than hurricanes. But
parts of Florida probably have a the most thunderstorms. Warm humid
air again. I would guess the UK is too far north to get as high energy
content air.
