These "point of use" protectors are also sacrificial...I'm not convinced to the extent of spending $125!



Well if you don't believe NIST, IEEE, physics, etc, not much

we can do about that. This isn't a new area. Protecting eqpt

from lightning surges has been understood and widely deployed for 75

years or more. In the case of Ralph's example, a whole house surge protector

would have likely spared not only the oven, but the other surge

protectors as well. With all the electronics in most appliances

today, it's just not practical to use plug-ins as the main protection.

You can't plug your oven or dishwasher into a plug-in. And unlike

50 years ago, those appliances all have electronics now too. One

board goes in your oven, fridge, furnace, dishwasher, AC, etc and it's

going to cost a lot more than $125.

All you seem to do is repeat yourself...it's likely you are narcissistic and everyone needs to think as you do.
I notice this in many of your posts...you've said your piece many times and others will form their own opinions based on dialog and research.
As you tend to beat a point to death...it lessens any worth your logic may have...
As I have stated...this is only my opinion (.02)
