Asking good questions! I'm pretty sure 140V is very low. The APC P10U2 which sells for ~$60 right now on Amazon has a clamping voltage of 330V.




Two important factors to consider:
-Clamping voltage (at what voltage (beyond normal 120V) does the surge protector act)
-Response time (how quickly does the surge protector act to break the circuit)


The faster the surge protector responds, the better (makes sense). The LOWER the clamping voltage, the less potential damage gets caused.


With the APC surge protector, your equipment gets subjected to 330V (albeit for a short period of time) BEFORE the protector kicks in. With the Tripp Lite, the voltage never goes beyond 140V, which seems amazing. Especially considering that many devices we have plugged in these days are multi-voltage (100V-240V). Laptop charger, phone charger, monitors, some TV's, can handle 240V... so if the thing stops at 140V --> amazing. Of course the fridge, the blender, and other devices that are either operating or on standby might not like 330V very much.

I have a "whole house" surge protector installed at the meter base, by the power company, as a primary/external first line of defense. Then I have my desktop, NAS, and expensive crap plugged in to an APC battery backup. You can also buy and install whole-house surge protectors that go in your break box. They provide similar protection to a meter-base device. I also have an APC UPS for the TV + devices (network switch, access point, cripple TV, Blu-Ray player)... and another APC UPS that has the main networking gear plugged in to it (router, controller, primary switch, etc.).


I'm going to pickup at least one of these Tripp-Lite protectors for other sensitive crap that isn't convenient to have plugged in to a battery backup.

Sorry for all of the quotes, but I figured you'd all be interested. I'm not convinced that the clamping voltage is 140V... According to the PDF from Tripp Lite, it's 330V... which may be just fine given the response time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.


https://assets.tripplite.com/prod...6ultra.pdf


"UL1449 Let Through Rating 330V"


"AC Suppression Joule Rating 3330"


"AC Suppression Response Time NM = 0 ns. CM = <1 ns"



Thought I'd add this:"From the Wirecutter: The best surge protector for your home electronics"

Shame it's from 2016, but was still an interesting read.

1. That would involve purchasing from a pile of garbage like NewEgg (same company who willfully provided customer data to tax authorities when they didn't have to, for starters).


2. It's not sold by NewEgg. It's "Sold and shipped by: Great Gamer". Not NewEgg.

Q: Would this be good when hooked to a generator?

I've been eyeballing the Furman PST-8 to use with a PA system, but this is like 1/2 the price.

Appreciate the input!


Edit/update: Went ahead and picked it up. Seems like a solid price, good reviews, and definitely better than nothing haha. Plus, I can always have it for my main PC.

Good points and good catch. I won't support Newegg just about ever anymore after all the stuff they pulled.

Wow! Good to see Tripp Lite is still in business. I have had a couple of these for 20+ years.

Still looks like the ones from the 1990's. I guess if a product is great, dont change it.

Absolutely! Hopefully these traditional companies that actually know what they're making will be able to stick around because kids these days think Anker and Mifado surge protectors are the best.

Agreed, if it works, it works. Although they could have added some RGB lights lol kidding.
