I do not have good experience with this brand of surge protector way back during Streamyx time.
The RJ11 (Phoneline) socket are completely useless to block surge.

Not sure about the electrical 3-pin point socket though, but then again usually if your house has a good fuse then it would be safe as the surge already been blocked right at the main fuse.

p/s: I had the 4-Way (Home Series) ones, not sure about Gold Series though.

just been reading this .

a good fuse does NOT block power surge / lightning power surge . A lightning arrestor or a SPD at DB box does .
a fuse is to block overload current . ie a 13 A will blow out if more than 13 A flow thru .

the power surge on phoneline/land line is strong . that s why you had issues.

bro... good DIY video. built this for leakage protection / human safety / kids safety thumbsup.gif

BUT ....
for surge protection this can not help.
the trip protection is SLOW . the lightning surge will already zap your TV in 1 mSec .
they use mechanical switch which trip SLOW ya.

The belkin apc here are all type 3.
Should be used in conjunction with a type 1+2 at the main incoming.


Consider the spd like water filter. The belkin apc are the cookoocoways. You don't expect it to filter the dirty water from river.
