What if I have an 11 Outlet Surge Protector and buy this to put behind my outlet that the surge does...will my devices be "extra" safe?

I don't know about extra safe as this device is a ground fault device, so I guess you may be extra safe, it's good to have. Since it's not a surge protector it's OK to plug a SP into it, hope this helps.

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.

it serves no purpose unless there is a chance it will get wet, and then it would conceivably provide "extra" protection

The higher the AMP's & WATT's, the more power the surge protector can handle. I am a paranormal investigator & only need 3 small power cords hooked up so I didn't need the higher Amperage & Wattage. If you are plugging in a TV, computer, printer or other similar electronics, you may want to go with the higher #'s. Hope this helps. I am not an electrician but this is my understanding. Also, the 3 plugs are very close together so you may be forced to either just use 2 plugs at a time or buy a second surge protector. I lucked out, my 3 plugs are very narrow.

The product website states it's not a surge protector http://www.monsterproducts.com/Outlets_To_Go_Power_Strip_4_Outlets#productDetailsTabs2

It's hard to say because there are different sized plugs. But I would say probably not. There isn't actually a whole lot of space in there. For my surge protector I could only use one plug since there wasn't enough space for two. You might get away with it if the plug takes up 2 plugsworth of space, but I wouldn't count in it. The covers themselves are pretty cheap so it wouldn't hurt to try it. I do know this, if the cords for, it keeps the kids out of it 100%!Hope that helps a bit :)

Don, I really do not know. I have four unite, I have not tried adding additional units on, sorry. Just FYI plug units directly into the wall socket do not plug them into a surge protector or any sort of a power strip which is then plugged into the wall, the feed back will terrible. Sorry I couldn't answer your question. Glenn

Not likely. This surge protector needs a German "Schuko" Type F outlet (has 2 round pins). The UK outlets are mostly Type G which is 3 big rectangular pins.

No it should not you may have bigger problems check to see if you have power or your surge protector is tripped

It'll maintain power to the device. I'm not sure what the surge suppression is rated at (jewels), so I can't say that it will offer complete protection.

No problem as long as the power supply is rated same as the surge protector. 120v in and 120 volt out.

As I understand it, this is adequate protection for surge, just like the extension strip surge protectors, just this fits in the wall behind your TV. That is what mine is being used for. http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/ProductDetail.jsp?partnumber=5280-W&section;=39994

In case people ever come back to read this, you should NEVER connect a surge protector into any surge protected UPS. This is because it causes a ground loop in the wiring, in which the smaller surge protector is constantly triggered into thinking there is a power outage, ever though there isn't one. What this does is causes power spiking across the entire power strip, which can damage the UPS, your connected devices, and errors across your devices due to lower than optimal power ratings. Buy non-surge protected power strips if you need more ports for your UPS.

Another answer is correct also. Unless you have a divided duplex (where there are two circuits in one outlet), the entire duplex and connected items are all served by the one surge protector up to its electrical limits.

Yes this protector will support your system. I have even higher level of power consuming electronics connected to this surge protector for the past two years and I have had no problems at all.

You could hide it behind the unit, but it all depends on your placement of the unit. Mine covered my cable outlet, but my wall plug is off to the side. Depending on your number of electronics, it could get full pretty quickly behind the unit if you place it over your wall outlet - depends on your cable management.

Not sure of the best thing to do but there is diminishing amperage with just one power strip. I found this when seeking to power a saw that uses all 15 amps. This surge protector has an output of something like 12.5 amps. I don't know what would happen if you daisy chain different pieces together. If you do that, I'd get a product with just 2 or 4 recepticles on it and save a few dollars. If you are real worried, I might call some electrical supply house in your area and find out what others do if you have a shakey power service. Our power goes off and comes back on quickly sometimes so I even have a surge protector on my aging refrigerator. The power system in this country is aging and I've seen many pieces of expensive commercial equipment blown out at once by careless electric company folks. There is good reason to do something...

I made some search and find an article which might answer your question. I hope it helps! http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-surge-protector/

The instructions say to plug in to an outlet only, no extention cords or other devices. I know it will not work with an extention cord because I tried it. Outlets are protected by a circuit breaker. I would not use a surge protector.
