Does this Surge Protector have a Built in Circuit Breaker?

I really don't know. I am using it more as a multi plug extention cord. There are two lights on it, one says "Grounded" & the other says "Protected". I don't see a place to replace a circuit if it is blown but.... I threw the box away so I dont have any more info for you. I love it personally.

Whatever it had did not work properly as my equipment was destroyed after a surge. Belkin tested it and said it was fine. If it was fine, why was my equipment damaged? I lost thousands. Word from Belkin, "Claim Denied"! (go away pesky customer). Never again.

Hi Christine.This Belkin Pivot-Plug Surge Protector model BP112230 doesn't have a built-in / resettable circuit breaker. The following models have built-in resettable circuit breaker: Belkin F7C007 Conserve Smart AV and Belkin F7C01008q Conserve Switch.Thanks.Belkin Supporthttp://www.belkin.com/us/support

All I know is when my circuit breaker tripped and turned off the electricity for the plug in which the Belkin Pivot Plug was in, it will not work any more.

That answer isn't addressed in their description on the box. Sorry, I can't tell you one way or the other. I don't see a reset button on my unit either.

The surge protector is on in case of a power surge to protect your electrical appliances from shorting out

It does, but unless there are circuit boards in your appliances, there is no need for surge protection. Motors of fridges and other large appliances handle surges just fine, typically. Surge protection is meant for finer electronics that cannot handle fluctuations. Large ac motors can just fine. And remember, surge protection is NOT lightning protection.

Surge protector are designed to stop the flow of current to your electrical device. This product is no different. It would either have to be reset or replaced depending on how heavy of a surge it received.

It does not need a surge protector and just plugs into a 110 volt electric socket. But overseas outlets may be different and require an adapter. Need to research wherever you are going to be.

Yes, it connects to the service box and protects every circuit that is there. It is best connected to the first breaker, the one closest to the incoming power cable, usually the top left side breaker so that the surge hits it first and is contained before it gets to any other down the line. This upper left breaker should be a high-amp one (30A).

I have the following one, too. It has an on/off switch. Great for tv, computers, etc. Belkin 12 Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector with Phone/Ethernet/Coaxial Protection and Extended Cord 4156 Joules for around 22. on Amazonby BELKIN

The SYCOM whole house surge protector can do both. I installed one on my circuit breaker box will little trouble. I haven't yet had a lightning strike or surge, so I haven't had the opportunity to see it work.

no not built into it. It is a power strip with filters and surge protection

That is a power switch. As far as I know it offers no protection from a power surge.

I am not positive. I did not use a surge protector and this charger does not have one; however, I charged my cell phone and used it for my curling iron and everything seemed fine.

Yes, it is a surge protector. That is it's main purpose. I had a surge a few weeks ago at a campground and nothing was affected. It is worth the peace of mind.

All the other answers I believe are the best answers you can get. I think All surge protectors are one and done after a major surge. I would check manufacturers specs.

No it does not include fuses or circuit breakers. For the second question, Don't know, the manufacture would be able to answer that.

No,It is as the name says "Surge Protector" & It Does a Great Job doing that!

Yes, you will still need to have a surge protector and you cannot incorporate one into the unit itself. Not with the way it is currently designed.

Yes. In the middle of the Surge Protector you'll notice four black hole areas. Two are for phone protection and the other two are network cable protection. :)
