If I plug this adapter into a standard outlet and then plug a non-gfci multi plug strip into the adapter, are devices plugged into the strip protected

Yes everything after the adapter would be Protected but be careful not to overload with the multi plug strip.

I believe so, but I'm no electrician. My understanding is that if something connected to the non-gfci plug strip blows a fuse, it could affect other devices on the strip. But the GCFI will protect everything from a more serious power surge or short circuit, which would originate from the outlet/your whole place/your whole neighborhood/etc.

Yes, make sure your strip outlet does say not to plug into a GFCI. Some strip outlets are circuit breaker only protections while others protect equipment from power dips and surges. This type could cause interference possibly. Always read the instructions and WARNINGS.

If it's just a plug strip (non surge protector type) you will be fine, over loading shouldn't be a problem, the GFCI will trip before any damage, then you'll know it's over loaded, just try to keep the power strip to 15 amp current draw. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can use an adapterHowever,1) you can only use 1 of the 2 discreet sets of the electric wire in the house. you will have to install the system with the set up steps on page 9 the user's manual (See bullet point # 1 in the Product Knowledge) on sales page. In your case with only 2 prongs you will be better off getting the traditional 2 prongs ASINs: B00F1Z71AG & B006ICDV3M to save money.No GFI, No surge protector because the circuit in those device will alter the signal between the units.

The adapter is just a socket with an on off socket. The power to the socket is constant. It shouldn't have any effect on your outletted items.

Are you referring to the insulation coating? If so, then no. However, you might have to strip the ends to make contact with the device you're plugging in to.

It would remove protection from that location and any other outlets protected by that GFCI. An option would be to install a GFCI breaker in the panel for that circuit that would protect the outlets and allow you to replace the GFCI outlet with this product.

No. What you plug to the wall looks exactly like what you would plug into the outlet. It just allows you to plug 3 things on this adaptor versus one on the wall.

No. It is strictly a Surge Suppressor outlet. Think of it as a single outlet power strip with surge suppression.

It is a 3 prong connection. Plugging into a 2 prong adapter may defeat the purpose of the surge protection

No. A 2-prong plug works just fine in this unit. My phone and iPad chargers are both 2-pronged, and they work perfectly with this power strip.

You can replace the non-GFCI plug with this plug and then have GFI protection for the heat tape as long as the heat tape does not draw more than 15 Amps.

Yes. You cannot use a standard surge protector because there would be no place to plug the fence wire into a standard protector. This protector has saved me once in the past year, it protected the fence when we took a direct hit. The surge protector was fried but the system was fine. Petsafe replaced the surge protector free of charge. It sucked paying $30 (now I see it is $21) for this, but I would definitely recommend this device for your system.

Yes, standard wall outlet as in a home. The device also has its own fuse for added safety.

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.

Yes. The top 2 screws are for the line connections to the circuit breaker box, and the bottom 2 screws are for load connections to the downstream outlets that will be protected by this GFCI.

The manual clearly warns against connecting this to an ungrounded unit. An ungrounded outlet is not only a safety risk to what you plug in it, but also completely negates any benefit of a surge protector.

The plug is shaped like a teardrop with the larger part having the two prongs. When plugged in it lies parallel with the face plate, i.e., it is perpendicular to the floor and extends beyond the faceplate, not into the other plug. So it shouldn't interfere with whatever you want to plug into the other receptacle. I hope that is clear.

It's like most adapters, I put it at the end but I still loose the one next to it(it covers the ground hole slightly). I guess if you had a two prong cord that was thin, you could probably still plug it in, haven't tried that one yet. My strip has all three prong cords in it.
