If a surge protector fails, then it was clearly undersized
for the task. Surge protectors should be so effective that
one never knows it did its job - in direct contradiction to
what Clifton posts. The most critical component in surge
protection is earthing. Direct lightning strike without
damage is routine. Clifton would even deny this. A surge
protector is only as effective as its earth ground. No earth
ground means no effective surge protection. Clifton has some
wild idea that sacrificial MOVs will provide the protection -
which is why he insults rather than post a single technical
number. Instead Clifton would have us believe that lightning
would vaporize a 10 inch diameter steel rod - without even a
single numerical fact.


Hey w-tom,

Why are you obsessed with posting countless diatribes on the subject of
surge protectors on dozens of newsgroups? Are you a shill for the whole
house surge protector industry?
