Default Replacing electrical wall outlets...

Again, Bud posts no technical sources. He cannot. Technical sources
such as both articles from Electrical Engineering Times defines
protection completely in terms of earth ground.

Bud must reply incessantly. Profits are at risk. How does Bud's
'magic box' stop what three miles of sky could not? How does his
'magic box' dissipate all that surge energy? Where does that surge
energy go? Why do his IEEE and NIST guides demand protectors with
proper earthing AND show how a plug-in protector can contribute to
appliance damage? Why does he pretend those 'scary pictures' do not
exist? His response? Crickets or insults.

Bud has no technical experience. Bud is a promoter. He has used
every half fact. Profits are at risk. So Bud posts insults. The
responsible homeowner can install one effective protector (that has a
dedicated earthing wire) from Cutler-Hammer, Square D, Intermatic,
Leviton, Siemens, GE and others. One protector protects everything,
remains functional, and costs tens of times less money. In every
case, a protector is only as effective as its earth ground. Curious.
That was the point in both articles from Electrical Engineering
Times. Where is the earth ground for Bud's 'scary picture'
protectors? Crickets.

w_'s drivel still does not have a link to another lunatic that says
plug-in suppressors are NOT effective. Could it be nobody agrees with w__???

And w_ still has not answered simple questions:
- Why do the only 2 examples of protection in the IEEE guide use plug-in
suppressors?
- Why does the NIST guide says plug-in suppressors are "the easiest
solution"?
- How would a service panel suppressor provide any protection in the
IEEE example, pdf page 42?

Bizarre claim - plug-in surge suppressors don't work
Still no sources that say plug-in suppressors are NOT effective.
Twists opposing sources to say the opposite of what they really say.
Attempts to discredit opponents.
w_ is still a purveyor of junk science.
