You're confused. A fuse provides "protection" and earth ground has nothing to do with its effectiveness. And your reference to " hundreds of thousands of joules" is an arbitrary figure.
No, the Furman units are surge protectors, and that is demonstrable. Their effectiveness has limits, of course. But that doesn't make them "ineffective."
No protector does protection. Effective protectors (ie whole house) are connecting devices to what does protection.Semantics.
A protector is only as effective as its earth ground. Protection is defined by what harmlessly absorbs hundreds of thousands of joules - single point earth ground.

Ineffective and obscenely profitable devices such as a Furman are only magic boxes hyped subjectively as surge protectors.

Type 1 does not define protection . Type 1 is a human safety parameter.Sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about. "Type 1" is a distinct category of surge protection.
