Does it also protect for low Voltage?

It has some limited protection for low voltage (brown outs), however if the the voltage goes below about 90 vac for over a few seconds, the unit will sound an alarm after disconnecting the AC which will protect your fridge in most cases. You will have to Hit the reset button on the RCA unit to continue normal operation if it does not return to normal on its own. I hope this helps. The RCA unit is about the best I have found for under $50.00

yes you could use it to protect a light switch, i used it for a wireless door bell

it is a surge protector - and will protect you from a bad 'spike'. but for sensitive equipment that requires line conditioning, you might want to get something more advanced. this is a heavy duty outlet strip with a circuit breaker.

i don't think it is a surge protector. it does act like a circuit breaker and shuts off when it gets too hot. you'd really need to ask the manufacturer about surge protection.

No.Even if you would modify this unit to fit (NOT recommended) it would not protect anything because there would be no ground on the unit. And even if you modify your outlets, AGAIN, it would NOT protect the equipment because there is NO GROUND connected. Why not purchase a cheaper unit that just distributes electricity but does not protect from surges.

I would imagine that if you can de-energize the wire and connect to it, you should be able to. However, if the low voltage wire is shielded, you would want to attach to the shield instead.

It does not give any kind of rating for protection, it just states: built-in fuse; over-load / short circuit / surge protection

These surge protectors are connected to the main bus through the breakers you connect them to, they do not prevent voltage spikes they just limit the surge effects through a gating effect that limits the amount of surge that gets through. They attempt to allow only a small amount of the surge to get through and drain the rest to ground. They are not not perfect but they may save your expensive electronics.

Sure. If you live in an area where the voltage isn't reliable it's best to put a protective device on your outlet.

It does not. It has a shut off for an overvolt condition and provides some noise filtering, but it does not regulate voltage. The manufacturer's specifications confirm this.

Yes. This checks the quality of the power coming in to the coach before it hits the panel of circuit breakers. It is a surge protector but it also tells you if the power on the pedestal has correct polarity and the amperage and voltage of each line. It protects the panel as well.

Yes, this functions as a surge protector also. Battery & Surge Protected Outlets = 4; Surge-Only Protected Outlets = 2

It's not a surge protector if that's what you're asking. It's a heavy-duty extension cord so it'll handle a TV and player but it won't protect your electronics in a storm or other power surge. I use mine to lengthen the reach of my power strip, which is surge protecting. I plug a lamp into it as well as the lamp doesn't require such protection.

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

No it does not. It will only tell you what the actual voltage is with the voltage drop of all things plugged into it. It will prevent from any spike damage not regulate. I usually plug into another source if it drops below 108v. Hope this helps.

Yes. But if the green light is still on after several nearby lightning strikes as in my case, it will continue to protect. If the green light goes out, you will need to replace the unit; being glad that it saved you from possibly thousands of dollars in damage! This is the case for ALL surge protector devices.

Yes, eventually. Surge protectors work by shunting voltage spikes to ground through an MOV. Eventually the metal oxide varistor fails, usually by burning open or shorting. At that point the device needs to be replaced.
