Re: protection against electrical surge-(lightning)

It will protect against transient strikes. A direct strike will fry it, and jump the tiny gap. So, it will protect you 99.9% of the time. That time when it hits the lines on the house, your smokin'......
Years ago in lightning country, I pulled the plug, on everything. Fridge, TV, Radio.
Nowadays I have no lightning, but how would you unplug everything.
Fridge
Microwave
TV(s)
Computer(s)
Ipod
Phone
The list is almost endless.
