Well another product I can think of is CAL-LAB built-in with the wall power socket. So that when any house is doing renovation or adding power extension, they can purchase the wall power socket and install directly instead of another box which does look ulgy right ?
FYI, the cal-lab not only a "box", it included the PCB board, i think perhaps it cant fit into those wall socket well... but how about if the users tat not competent to do such eletronic thinggy, exchange the wall socket plug to CLLI product? we should concern abt it... it is better for u to "plug and play" rather than "unscrew and screw"...
in other ways, if u change the wall socket only and every equipment plug on it, the protection will get lower... bcos it design for "general, overall", if design for "specific" for particular equipment will have good protection...
good example here, SP9201 got 3 models (std version, ar version, dsl verion)... so its depend ur need... different equipment hv different needs...

Well you did mention if travelling for 1 week. Well if the ELCB is trip, aren't this will be the same ?
I'm not sure if ELCB is protecting the voltage surge or current surge ? But I'm sure CAL-LAB can look at something that is replacing the ELCB(for life, earth and neutral) so we don't need to get every single unit for every electrical equipment.
tat the reason tat i said dont set the ELCB too sensitive, i dont think most of the house will jump fuis even the thunderstorm above us... only for some of them concern abt it and modify the ELCB into sensitive level... if ELCB too sensitive, got cal-lab also uselss, not point to buy to protect power line; if ELCB not sensitive, the cal-lab will help a lot
but most the ELCB designed for 240v, maybe till 260v-270v or even more only jump the fuis... but if ur house got sensitive equipments which cant absord the 250v even? then ur equipment dead... but if set the ELCB limited to 241v only, i believe will jump fuis many times per day, because we can know the the TNB's power supply not stable at all... each of the CLLI products have different limitions, pls check the 1st page "CLLI Brochures / Catalogs" 's bottom part... it jz a general information of the limitation for different equipment...
