Re: Surge Protection?

["w_tom" <w_tom1@xxxxxxx>]

  As I pointed out previously, low voltage is not hardware destructive.
 Hardware protection means 'whole house' protector ... from something
that typically occurs once every eight years.

  Dude.  Low voltage does not cause hardware damage.  Your 'something
that typically occurs once every eight years' is not noise that are
mistaken for surges.  Noise is made irrelevant by protection already
inside the appliance.  Protection that can be overwhelmed (typically
once every eight years) if the 'whole house' protector is not
installed.

  Again, please read what I had posted as intensely as I read your
posts.  You are inventing problems that do not exist in your third
world power.  And you are ignoring problems that can be even more
serious in third world power.  Whereas 1st world nations need 'whole
house' protectors; third world power needs them even more.  That UPS
does little to solve power problems that typically cause hardware
damage.  Voltage regulation is nice except that electronics must work
just fine, without the external voltage regulation, even when
incandescant lamps are at less than 40% intensity.  That voltage
regulation solves nothing except when power goes so low that
electronics shutdown ... without damage.

  When do you get hit?  Often damage occurs when the power turns off.
Same transient that causes power loss may also damage electronics.
Then the naive assume damage did not occur until when power goes back
on.  Power loss and power restoration typically does not cause the
damage.  Damage is caused by the same thing that caused power loss.
Electronics was damaged before power was restored.  Damage that a
'whole house' protector may eliminate.  You have damage.  You also
admit you don't have properly earthing.  You only demonstrate why
damage occured.  Electricity works same in both third and first world
countries.
