Does it protect against low voltage?

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.

This product is designed to protect against transient increases in voltage.

No. its electrical conductivity is minimized to prevent damage to the components

Have not had the opportunity to use it yet. It is designed to protect against surges in power and is supposed to protect against faulty wiring.

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.

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

No, this surge protector is designed to clip voltage spikes. It will not provide voltage regulation. I recommend, however, that you do not ignore the severe voltage swings as these high and low extremes could be detrimental to your electrical equipment

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.

No it has small low voltage wire. I hid mine with the plants and hooked to the bubbler tubing.

It is designed to be weather resistant. The switches are covered by a plastic membrane and it has robust ground fault protection. As a precaution we cover it when not in use with a contractor's trash bag secure at the bottom with a bungee cord.

Yes, the unit incorporated a "low voltage disconnect" function to protect the battery from damage due to deep discharge. Many people make the mistake of connecting the load directly to the battery, which defeats the LVD function and leads to reduced battery life.

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

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.

The output of this (electronic) transformer is 11.7VAC (AC!), not DC. That being said, most low voltage DC switches will function OK with when used with low voltage AC. "jimyastic" makes a good point about circuit protection, however I would assume if this device conforms to required UL standards (UL approved?) then it's behaviour during use and when it fails has been satisfactorily addressed and shouldn't be of concern.

It has a low rating for surge protection so it has limited protection for a computer against lightning surges. I use a higher rated surge protector for expensive and sensitive electronics. This is OK for small appliances, etc.

I bought it for a low voltage application...using 12vdc. It does not specify on the device the rating.

It would still protect the devices plugged into it if its off, as I understand it but I not an expert.

No. Although the Conserve Power Switch itself uses no power when not in operation and standby power is eliminated, it is not a surge protector. It will not prevent power surges.
