Because "surge protection" doesn't actually do a damn thing unless there's been some catastrophic event, and then its likely that everything gets blown out; "protection" included.FabLab Wageningen wrote: ↑Wed Dec 14, 2022 9:54 amWhy would no surge protection be a good thing ? (as opposed to icluding surge protection ?)
Have you ever had a "surge" in your location? How would you know? (Does a BEEP occur?) Can one define what the "surge" is that one is getting "protection" for? How often does this "surge" happen?
What a perfect marketing world to operate in ... fear, uncertainty and doubt.
A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) on your whole system will do more to protect the electronics, because then electronics doesn't lose power. Losing power and restoring power can stress the electronics in day-to-day use. (And, the UPS has built in "surge protection", too! )
PS. None of my electronic equipment operates without a UPS.
