Again Bud uses insults as technical proof. But Bud's citations say
a protector needs that short connection to earth ground - where surge
energy is dissipated.
If Bud could provide one plug-in manufacturer specification that
lists each type of surge and protection from that surge .... Oh.
Bud cannot provide what plug-in protector manufacturers will not even
claim. No facts. So Bud posts insults.
Responsible companies (listed previously) sell a 'whole house'
protector sufficiently sized, with a short and dedicated earthing
connection. A 'whole house' protector does what NIST states:
> ... your surge protector will work by diverting the surges to ground.
Where is the part about "clamping to nothing"? Maybe the NIST also
has a secret agenda? EE Times on 1 Oct and 8 Oct 2007 in
"Protecting Electrical Devices from Lightning Transients" also
defines earthing for protection. Oh. Somehow an electrical
engineering publication also has a secret agenda?
Earth ground is where surge energy must be dissipated. A surge
protector is only as effective as its earth ground.
