    "A surge protector can restrict, or "clamp," voltage across the three legs between these components: L-N, L-G, and N-G. 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. While protection remains active, the APC model bathes the word "protected" in green light. When the MOVs eventually fail, the light will go out and power will stop flowing to the AC outlets. (Oddly, these clamping voltages can't be found in the manual or product page, but are "printed" in black-on-black tiny molded type on the unit's underside.)"

    Warning… The edge lights up in green… Very bright green… I had to cover up the edge of mine with black electrical tape because the room was so brightly lit up.

    Look through the Amazon reviews searching for the words "bright", "light", or "green"… Might not bother you, but you should be aware…
    ·
    Nope, this was covered in the last thread. It's 330. Molded right into the plastic
    ·
    Bought 2 last time. Can confirm that clamping voltage is 330, 400, 400.

    Quote from KMan :
    Yeah, this is the unit that I was going to get per Wirecutter's recommendation, but apparently it's no longer such a good idea. Glad I didn't go for it.

    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:

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DFR56T2

    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:

    In for one despite the slightly imperfect surge protection. Still an improvement over the Belkin it will replace, perfection is the enemy of progress. If this was for a home theater or some servers, I wouldn't use it, but for some random electronics this is more than adequate and a good upgrade for the price.

    Just throwing that out there in case it helps anyone else decide.

    You can buy it from home depot same price.

    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 went this route last week. Getting it way sooner than from Amazon

    I have a few old surge protectors from APC and Belkin. They might be a decade or more old. The "Protection Working" light is still on. Is the consensus to throw these away and buy new ones?

    APC is known for surge protection and UPS battery backups. Anker is known for smartphone/tablet accessories.

    Why is there always some reply with some paranoia about fires and whatnot from these or adapters. JFC. Are peoples houses constantly catching fire from these things? Been on my block for 30+ years. Only seen one fire 20 years ago and no clue what it was from..
    Actually, the #4 cause of home fires is using a surge protector in bed...

    Good for you, but I am getting mine on wednesday free shipping. Lower risk of getting a fake product.
    When it comes to electronics, I don't trust Amazon.

    Just to add, the reason why I gave the home depot link is because it had a delivery date of Jan 31. I am glad that his highness was able to get theirs last week. It has no bearing on everyone else. I didn't need a list of your shopping history.
    Dude, he just said that he did the same thing you did (ordered from Home Depot). Chill out. It's just a power strip.

    These generation of kids don't know any older established companies that specialize in what they sell. They only know tech companies that are the fad of the moment. APC, Tripp Lite, etc and they go "who are these companies and can they be trusted? I rather go with Anker that is a new company with no history in making surge protectors because it looks pretty."
