That’s absurd. The Furman units - and other similar devices - are in wide use and their effectiveness is demonstrable. It’s not clear why this troubles you so.
Whoa ... careful there! You might want to read the NEC and your local codes. There’s really no such thing as a "single point earth ground" in an NEC-compliant installation. NEC requires all grounds to be bonded together at the service panel. And in many installations, code requires more than one ground rod. Clearly, you simply do not know what you are talking about.
Again ... " single point earth ground" is not code complaint and is potentially dangerous. You simply do not know what you are talking about. This is why EEs and electricians are licensed.
One should learn these basic and well understood concepts BEFORE posting denials.
a fuse myth is promoted subjectively - without numbersI’m not sure why you call fuses a "myth."
How does a millimeters gap in a fuse block what three miles of sky could not?Don’t be silly. A fuse is not designed to do that.
One should learn these basic and well understood concepts BEFORE posting denials.Agreed! Please take some time to learn that fuses are not a myth.
Subjective reasoning is how junk science gets promoted. One claims Furman does effective protection. But could not post even one Furman spec number that says so. Because Furman does not claim effective protection - except subjectively in sales brochures where lying is legal.

Facilities that cannot have damage properly earth all incoming wires. Some wires do not even have surge protectors. A hardwire connects low impedance (ie less than 10 feet) to single point earth ground.

Protectors are simply connecting devices to what does protection.Silly semantics.
Ineffective and grossly overpriced ’magic boxes’ (ie Furman) have no earth ground. And will not discuss it.
And why an item that needs most attention is the single point earth ground.
