w_  ignores what responsible professionals state. Both the IEEE and NIST 
guides say plug-in suppressors are effective.

w_ is ignorant and promotes myths.

w_'s religious mantra protects him from evil.

Unfortunately for  w_, the IEEE guide says plug-in suppressors work by 
CLAMPING the voltage on all wires to the common ground at the 
suppressor. The guide says plug-in suppressors do not primarily work by 
earthing. The guide says earthing occurs elsewhere in the system. 
Because that conflicts with  w_'s religious belief in earthing he can't 
understand.


Sources provided by  w_  that agree with him that plug-in suppressors 
are NOT effective - ZERO.

Simple questions answered - ZERO.
- Why do the only 2 examples of protection in the IEEE guide use plug-in 
suppressors?
- Why does the NIST guide says plug-in suppressors are "the easiest 
solution"?
- How would a service panel suppressor provide any protection in the 
IEEE example, pdf page 42?
- Why does the IEEE guide say "the only effective way of protecting the 
equipment is to use a multi****t protector."
- Where is the link to a 30,000A and 590Joule rated MOV for $0.10.
- Why does the IEEE Emerald book include plug-in suppressors as an 
effective surge protection device?

For junk science read what  w_  posts.

For real science read the IEEE and NIST guides - both say plug-in 
suppressors are effective.
