For real science read the IEEE and NIST guides. Both say plug-in
suppressors are effective.

Both the IEEE and NIST guides say a protector requires earth
ground. Only Bud denies what his own citations require for effective
protection. Well, if a plug-in protector provided that protection,
then Bud posts those manufacturer specs for protection. Why no
specs? Bud cannot post what does not exist. No plug-in protector
claims to protect from the typically destructive type of surge. 600
requests for that spec. Bud refuses to post even one spec.

Because profit margins are so massive, even I would sell a plug-in
proteccxtor to anyone so naive as to believe Bud. High profits? Take
a $3 power strip, add some ten cent parts, and sell it for $25 or
$150. Massive profits for something that does not even claim
protection. Why does Bud keep posting so that he can have the last
post? Profit margins are at risk.

If Bud was honest, then he need not post insults. An honest Bud
would provide manufacturer’s numeric specs that claim protection from
each type of surge. No plug-in manufacturer - not one - will claim
such protection. Which type protector protects from all types of
surges? One properly earthed 'whole house' protector as even Bud's
citations demonstrate. Bud's citations show how plug-in protectors
can earth surges - 8000 volts destructively - through adjacent
appliances. Yes, a plug-in protector can even contribute to damage of
adjacent electronics. Page 42 Figure 8.

Scary pictures demonstrate another problem. No wonder Bud must resort
to mockery and insult.

Bud will keep posting until he has the last post. What will not be
in that last post? A manufacturer spec that claims protection. Bud
cannot provide a spec that does not exist. Bud will post insults
incessantly until he has the last post. Then you might forget what
provides surge protection - earth ground. Both IEEE and NIST
citations state that a protector is only as effective as its earth
ground. Bud cannot provide even one plug-in spec that claims
effective protection. Just another reason why Bud must post
incessantly to have the last post.
