What to spect about that surge protector? Which place I hade to ground?

In the picture do you see the green wire? Usually green indicates the wire to ground. if th. Electric plug you connect this to is wired correctly, the center screw that holds the plate onto the plug is also ground. So before plugging in the unit unscrew the center plate screw just slighty to connect the end of the green wire. Then screw back tightly and finaly plug in the unit to your telephone or modem equipment.

I truly believe that it would protect it from damage but I was always told that it should be properly grounded in the wall. Some units have surge protection in the unit it self.

Negative, yet there is an input receptacle with NO SPECS as to polarity and voltage needed, as well a missing current spec needed when multiple items are connected. Closer inspection of item shows no specs ON the item either, but it appears that an area below the receptacle has been sanded off, as if the specs were removed, as was the model info. Weird.. Inspection was done with lighted magnifier I used at NASA to inspect pins. sort of like owning a 7-stall barn that will only hold 4 horses at best ;-)

It seems to have a ground wire, probably with the properly grouding the protector will continue functioning. I had some issues with the same happening in the modem here "blowing modems away". The only save is ground it. May other way works for the fine line, normalizing it and sending back to the currency. But it for a thunder, it's something really destructible.

Not 100% sure, but I think it would be grounded once you plug it into an oulet or even better a surge protector.

Well, we used just a standard outlet. What is funky about the plug you have?

The one I got claimed to have a surge suppressor, but the USB ports were DOA, so I didn't investigate carefully.

It has a three prong plug so it is grounded. Other then that you would have to contact the company. I've seen no issues with it so far.

It may depend on how your outlet is configured. All of my outlets are horizontal with the two prong and ground holes facing the same direction. I have the Surge Protector on the right side (maybe your top outlet), and there is enough room for another three prong (grounded) plug to fit in the left side (maybe your bottom outlet). In your scenario, this is assuming that the third prong (grounded) hole is on the bottom for each outlet. Now if you are only plugging in a two prong in the other outlet, this appears to be a non-issue. Hope this helps!

If the voltage from the outlet surges, any surge protector diverts the extra electricity to ground through the outlet's ground wire. If you have any additional questions, please reach out to our Pre-Sales Applications team at 773-869-1773.

it is a surge protector - and will protect you from a bad 'spike'. but for sensitive equipment that requires line conditioning, you might want to get something more advanced. this is a heavy duty outlet strip with a circuit breaker.

I find the UPS or surge strip is usually my problem not the PC but either way it should help. I have my UPS plugged into one and that cleared up my main problem. Any type of surge protector appears to weaken the signal.

You only need one of these, attached to the main cable that comes into your house. That will stop any electrical surge that may come through the cable itself.It doesn't function like a "ground" for everything, though... The power cord of each device (TV, computer, etc.) will still need to be plugged into a wall outlet or power strip that's equipped with surge protection in order to stop surges that may come through the regular house wiring.

i would definetly use a surge protecter, some generators have them but i dont think this one has one

The co said it was defective, I have a third one now, I'm afraid to take it out of the box.The first one stopped working after2 months, the second one I turned on once and it wouldn't shut off.I unplugged it but it never worked so they sent the 3rd one. They didn't ask me to send the others back, so I feel they don't know either. The only suggestion they came up with is "don't plug into a surge protector strip". I wish I could help, other than contact the company, not who you bought it from. Good luck

The unit provides protection against electrical spikes and surges. Your problem is with the electrical utility provider could be a transformer issue

I do not know. I have a computer on mine. and the power surge protector underneath.
