What you miss; obviously, is that plug-in protectors DO WORK.

Quite the contrary. They work ... on one type of surge that is typically
not destructive.

Only in hallucinations by the village idiot.

A 'whole house' protector does maybe 99.5% of the protection.

Lie repeated for the 4th time.

99.5% is for lightning rods. It has nothing to do with surge protection.


No answer for Oren's question:
- Why does SquareD says for their "best" service panel protector
"electronic equipment may need additional protection by installing
plug-in [protectors] at the point of use"?

Note that SquareD does not make plug-in protectors.

Still never answered - simple questions:
- Why do the only 2 examples of protection in the IEEE guide use plug-in
protectors?
- Why does the NIST guide says plug-in protectors are "the easiest
solution"?
- Why does the NIST guide say "One effective solution is to have the
consumer install" a multiport plug-in protector?
- Why did Martzloff say in this paper "One solution. illustrated in this
paper, is the insertion of a properly designed [multiport plug-in surge
protector]"?
- How would a service panel protector provide any protection in the IEEE
example?
- Why does the IEEE guide say in the IEEE example "the only effective
way of protecting the equipment is to use a multiport [plug-in] protector"?

Still never seen - any source that agrees with westom that plug-in
protectors do not work.

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