Would this reduce power surges caused by inductive load(freezer, oven, etc.) switching on/off?

I have opened this item up and there is nothing internal that suggests that it has a capability to be a "surge" protector. If you need a real "actual" surge protector unit; then purchase one that has that one specific design to it. Don't expect a power strip to have this function you are looking for. (Oh, by the way I am an Electrical Engineer with over 40 years experience)

No, this is not a surge protector. Freezers should be on there own separate circuit. Same with ovens or any heavy duty load...

Yes. It offers three-line AC surge protection for your basic household electronics and home appliances.

Also the go power has a 15 to 20 second delay before switching. Either way you decide to go i would recommend a ups (uninterruptable power supply) for sensitive electronics such as computer, tv, cable boxes, etc....you won't lose power to your equipment and it will protect it from surges as well

Not sure. For me I have my home theater receiver connected to it and it turns off other devices. Check and see if there is a minimum load that has to be on the control socket. It is sensing the change in current

There is no on-off switch and the temp. range only goes down to 40'F so the electricity would have to be turned off in the circuit.

Not to my knowledge. I have not experienced a power outage since installing the control, but I don't recall anything in the very abbreviated documentation.

Regardless of whether there is an on/off switch I would suggest unplugging the unit when not being used for an extended period. This is a 120VAC unit and should be plugged into a receptacle rather than being hard wired.

Yes. I have several amps connected to the Belkin, and they delayed in a staggered fashion so as not to turn on all at once.

For this question call tech support at HotMax.I had an interesting conversation with them about using power from a regular generator and the answer was don't use that power because of frequency fluctuations that will mess up the electronics inside the unit.

This is not a surge protector. Many appliances and devices use a trickle of electricity even when they are not actually turned on, which wastes electricity, not to mention wasting your money. The purpose of the Belkin Power Conserve Switch is to cut power completely to whatever is plugged into it. You restore power to your appliance by pressing the small power switch on the right-hand side of the switch when it's time to use the appliance, and then off again, when use is complete. I have six of these installed in my kitchen and have been delighted with their performance and ease of use.

No, it cycles the power on and off to maintain temp. SSR is on or off, not varying.

Yes, it works on different circuits, but please be aware, and this may of been an isolated issue with my units, but they fried everything I connected them to (a desktop PC, a network switch and a security camera DVR). I had my power checked and all is well with my power in my house.

I installed GFCI (ground fault circuit interuppters ) in all my plug-ins . Ten bucks apiece or less . Don,t have to worry about melt-downs . I still unplug everything except fridges and phones if we leave for even day trips

Very good question. I myself have used other UPS's for refrigerators during power outages. While I can't say how well this specific model will work, I can say I have used other brands that have worked just fine.

Don't know for sure. Haven't had that problem that I know about. It works great when power goes off--no longer have to reset the frig and wait.

I have had no power outages, so I can"t answer this question. But I would think your settings would be unaffected.

Your question would indicate that you want a UPS, and uninterrupted power supply; no it doesn't do that but it does prevent damage from power surges. Brown out protection requires a UPS.

Since it cuts the power to the box you are plugging the main unit, you could probably turn it off but not on from the main unit.
