interested on this... how much is the cost with installation for double story house with astro & streamyx? I have those belkin & cal-lab but if it can stop from surge at earlier stage much better and cost to buy belkin & cal-lab is not cheap as well if you need to buy more than one or two
Exactly. Blocking the surge current at the 1st entry point is definitely more effective.
Imagine this:
Belkxx or others:
1) protects only 1 power socket, how about those direct connections
(not using socket) such as air-conditioner, water heater, CCTV, alarm panel, autogate?
You can't protect them.2) to protect more sockets, you need to buy more.
Accumulated cost is even higher than whole house lightning surge protection.
3) surge current travelling from power DB --> MCB --> ELCB --> CB --> travel around the house --> meets the Belkxx --> Belkxx divert surge current via earth wire --> earth wire surge current travels back to socket --> DB --> Earth wire --> Earth pit...........Can you imagine: the thieves already broke into your house then only you chase them out?
