[QUOTE="bellgamin, post: 1010309, member: 56053"] Hmmm... maybe some folks need to upgrade their surge protector? A good surge protector (SP) should have clamping at 440V or less. I always go for 330V. For clamping, LOW is better. The SP's response time should be a nanosecord or less! LOW is better. Joules mainly are a measure of how much cumulative surges the SP can handle before it dies. High is good BUT low clamping trumps high joules. BTW, be sure that the surge protector will cut power to your computer AND/OR otherwise alert you when the surge protector eventually fails -- and it will. Me & my aging laptop computer have been through several thunder & lightning storms over the years. A couple of them scared me a lot. Both me & my computer survived just fine. I have never scimped on the surge protectors I buy. [/QUOTE]
