I can show you pictures of car wrecks too. Does that make all cars

Run stop signs because those scary pictures did not happen. Or
learn from others who installed a plug-in protector ... that does not
even claim to provide protection. Or learn from both the IEEE and
NIST who define what is required to make a protector effective ...
earth ground. What happens when the protector is not properly
earthed? Page 42 Figure 8 - 8000 volts earthed destructively through
an adjacent TV. No wonder high reliability facilities don't use
plug-in protectors; insted use a 'whole house' type protector.

Since science is not promoted on retail store shelves, then mockery
and insults prove protectors that require tens or 100 times more
money also must be better.

When does salty@dog, trader4, or Bud post manufacturer specs for
that protection? Oh. No such numbers exist. No wonder telcos all
over the world do not use plug-in protectors. Effective protection is
required.
