Does the surge protection mean that if you plug in a device with the wrong voltage it will protect your device from breaking? SE Asia compatible?

The FosPower FUSE Universal Single Port USB AC Adapter has four different plug standards that are compatible with most of Africa, most of Asia, Australia, most of Europe, UK, most of North America, and some parts of South America. The FosPower FUSE Universal Single Port USB AC Adapter does not convert voltage and the USB power port is compatible with 110V to 125V and 240V to 250V standards. A surge protector (or surge suppressor) is designed to protect electrical devices from voltage spikes. A surge protector attempts to limit the voltage supplied to an electric device by either blocking or by shorting to ground any unwanted voltages above a safe threshold.

I am not sure. Normally you can not plug the device into the wrong voltage. That is why they make so many configurations. The surge part is normally for abnormal occur ancestors from the power company or lightening.

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.

Most devices like this that are rated to the higher voltage are intended for use in the US, Asia, and Europe. There shouldn't be any problem.

I just returned from a month in Italy. Most locations we stayed at had the three hole recepticals but those would accept the two prong adapters. I think it's similar to the US where three holes are grounded two are not. We had no problem using small items like iPhones , iPads, razors, etc. using the two plug adapters. However, we do carry a grounded surge protector just to be safe.

No. Even with a plug adapter, the surge protector part is a problem. I have blown circuits and adapters this way. First, I blew the adapter in India. Then, I plugged it in at the airport lounge in the U.S. and killed that entire circuit. Guilty.

NOT a surge protector. For overseas travel probably what you are lookin' for is this:Simran SM-60 Universal Power Strip 3 Outlets for 110V-250V Worldwide Travel with Surge/Overload ProtectionThere's a similar model with built in USB ports.If you need VOLTAGE CONVERSION for small things...check out this:BESTEK® Portable charger universal adapter travel converter voltage 220V to 110V + UK/US/AU/EU plug + 4.2A four USB charging port for tablets,iPad,cell phone,iphone,samsung ect.

I was confused by their response as well. I have seen some surge protectors with a light "not grounded." If the light was on in that situation, it would show there was no ground. They must have misunderstood your question. If it says "protected" and "Grounded" and the lights are on, it should be working properly. Maybe you should contact Belkin again and maybe you won't get Nick.

I don't know for certain but I would expect that would happen. If the power surge is large enough to disable/destroy other electronics in your house then I suspect it would damage this device as well.

This is a safety device that compares current out with current back. If there is a mismatch, because current is going somewhere else, it shuts off. It's designed to shut the power off fast enough to avoid serious injury if the reason for the current mismatch is that someone is getting a shock. It's certainly not designed to protect your devices, but since surge protectors generally work by shunting the surge to the ground line it would probably trip during a power surge.

I have "whole-house" surge protection so I wasn't concerned with the capability of this unit. However, since you asked, I went back to the instructions that came with the unit. Under "Protections" it states: "USB circuits are equipped with over-load and short-circuit protections." That's it.

I have not purchased this item. I think my daughter and son who have the same initials as I, must have purchased this item, and Amazon has sent this question to me, BUT, I did look into the detailed description of this item, and it does have inbuilt surge protection.

I didn't look at the other comments before responding... sorry. More is better, opinions vary, nothing is perfect, I deemed this adequate and it insures my warranty is not invalidated for not using a surge protector. Regarding how much more you might want, here is one reference: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/everyday-tech/surge-protector7.htm

Would like to answer, however, I do not know the voltage in Asia. Good luck. Any adaptor must convert the voltage to 110

It is like most plug in surge protectors in the fact that it will only survive one major surge. When you "reset" a plug in surge protector after it has undergone a large surge it no longer offers protection. This device will survive several smaller surges.

a surge protector works by shunting excessive voltage to ground..this unit clamping max voltage in surge mode 150v (for 120 usage) doesn't turn on until voltage rises 25 percent then it clamps for max 150 amps

The product description on the Aeotec website mentions surge /over current protection to the following levels: Max. Joules: 650Max. Surge Current: 6000V/3000A. I dont see a problem with plugging in an additional surge protected strip.

I have been fortunate enough not to have the surge protector do it's intended job. I just looked at the unit and noticed that it does not have a reset, test like a ground fault circuit interrupter. I have a hunch that if the alarm is triggered un-plugging and re-plugging the unit will reset it. The device is cheap enough to protect your expensive appliances, I would have no problem buying another one if there was a problem with the actual device.Hope this helps.JerryO
