Default Surge protectors in series

No surge protector trips. Where is this device inside that power
strip that disconnects appliance from AC mains? This 'tripping' myth
is the claim that a protector will stop and absorb what even three
miles of sky could not stop.

What is that 'tripping' device? You made the claim. What does this
tripping?

Why is 'let-through' voltage at 330 volts? Where does 200 volts
come from? What is this device inside a protector that measures and
trips on voltage? Surges are measures in amperes. What measures and
trips on 200 volts?
