Already seen that one when I was googling previously before I made this thread, I dont like that one, I prefer a switch instead of buttons.

Anything close to the pictures design I made/posted in first post? Its for prolong use.

As for the reason its to prevent ligntning strikes, when not in use.

I read this thread until I blur blur rclxub.gif, decided to use the simple method, whereby I have been doing all these while, plugging and unplugging cables, but really got fedup and tired of doing it, so prefer using switches instead.

Pardon me but that type of switch is still connected by wire even if you "switch it off".

If you are so worried about lightning then just plug out the cable, or get an AVR.
Im using Right Power AVR and it has served me well.

I have been manually doing the plugging and unplugging for so long, just dont want to do it anymore. What do you mean the wire is still connected when the switch is in off postion? confused.gif

Isnt avr and ups giving the same protection except ups got battery? Nowadays lightning strikes multiple times within 1 minutes, what kind of avr or ups can prevent that?

Previously using apc ups, gone through 3 of them for my pc, all bye bye now(they didnt get strike by lightning cause I was quick enough to unplug the power cable. Now havent decide what ups to buy for my pc yet. It seem ups breakdown mostly within a year, at the most 2 years max. I use ups mostly to enable me to save whatever data when there's power failure. Didnt dare to try let it switch on and connected during lightning strikes to see whether it survive or not.

I dont know the exact mechanism used in those box, but these switches needs physical wires to be connected at-all-times (refer picture below).
So when lightning strikes, it will probably still pass-thru the wiring and still overload your hardwares.

Never tried it before, this AVR has built-in fuse.
When lightning strikes it will blow the fuse and just replace the fuse.

Btw, how many fuse have your AVR blow up due to lightning strike already?

Does your AVR still working after changing the fuse?
