Does this surge protector continue to supply power after a surge has occurred? For me this is desirable because I want to connect my freezer to it.

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.

I know this won't be helpful, but if it monitors power usage and finds nothing is in use, maybe it does. Even when it's plugged in the surge protector uses power. Unplug everything and see if it powers down.

I have not had a problem with this surge protector. I have all my computer equipment plugged into it.

Not sure? But i had my laptop and printer plugged in to a surge protector that was plugged in to the generator. It was plugged in for 7.5 hours with no trouble.

Yes, it's the same as the power from the power company. I would suggest using surge protectors as you should already be using.

It is not recommended through a surge protector. It may not work at all or will be unreliable. I do not know if has one built in, but I have three and have been using them for over a year with no issue.

I have not experienced a surge while using it so far. I think in case of a surge it will cut power off automatically to protect the appliances connected to it. To reset, press the button on the side of one end of the power strip.

I'm not an electrician, but I would think it would need to be grounded... otherwise where would the surge go? I happened to have an electrician in my house for other things when this arrived, so I asked him how I should ground this. He just took it and hooked it up to the neutral/grounding wire in a nearby unused outlet and said it is now grounded with the rest of the house. I can still use that outlet too.

Also wanted to note that this is for incoming power problems only. You should also use surge protection at each electronic component, like an outlet or strip with surge protection. Internal surges can happen beyond your power source, example: Frig on same circuit, as a vacuum is turned on, can cause an internal surge on this circuit or one near it. This is a better setup for having all round protection. Most people I know have one or the other, better to have both.

think about this, how would you really know is the power got that bad or bad enough and if you saved anthing by buying this thing. I had smart-UPS with surge protector, and lost most of my internet connection and a few computer mother boad. I didn't lose one TV, but to be safe , the only real answer is to disconnect any and all line to it.

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.

Also looking for this. Starting to wonder if it's not a true surge protector, and just has a simple fuse like most power strips.

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.

Thank you for the question!It is not recommended to plug an extension cord or another power strip into a surge protector. It will still work, however the surge protection function will no longer work and your equipment will be at risk of surges.Globe Customer Appreciation Team

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.

When switched off, no power gets to your appliance, so I cannot see how a power surge would effect the appliance. However, the Belkin switch may be *fried* after a power surge.

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