According to this page [techhive.com]. This model offers 330 volts (V) of clamping across the main line-neutral leg, the most critical place to block surges. It has 400V clamping across the two grounded legs.

It is 330V for Clamp. ON the homedepot page APC support states just as much and it is baked on the back of the protector.

I'm in the market for one because my UPS recently died, and although I do intend to replace it, upon doing some research it turns out that it and other consumer level UPS's only provide a bit over 1000 joules of protection, while Wirecutter's top rec, the Tripp-Lite, offers nearly 3000 joules (the APC offers even more at over 4000).
What I'm wondering though is whether it's wise to put a surge protector such as the Tripp-Lite in series with a UPS, and if so before or after it, to get the benefit of a UPS as well as more power protection. Most UPS makers say to not do this, but some say that it's ok. So I'm confused. The specific UPS I'll probably get is the CyberPower 1350VA pure sine wave, which is the one I had and which they're replacing for free.
I'm thinking put this before the UPS and don't use the other outlets for anything with a high load, so an 8W LED or phone charger should be ok.
There's also this Tripp-Lite, which is $35 and offers 4300 joules protection:

Btw Eaton, the company that owns Tripp-Lite, is one of the UPS makers that says it's ok to put a surge protector before a UPS:
