Default Surge protectors in series

Lets say the first one trips, if the voltage reaches 200
volts. The second one trips if the voltage reaches 200
volts. How would that add up? I say, not at all.


OTOH,if there's enough energy to blow past the first protector,the 2nd will
absorb/shunt it. The 1st protector also acts as a delay,slows down the rise
of the pulse.
