Surge protector

NO. A high voltage lightning transient event lasts no longer than the blink of an eye, at most a few microseconds to milliseconds. For that reason a good SPD must absorb, shunt, divert, a high voltage transient to ground in a nanosecond or less.

@jea48  , thank you--I have learned a lot from you in the past and I continue to do so.  I am not trying to beat this horse to death in order to get the answer I want, I am genuinely trying to learn as much as I can, so would the kind of voltage surge/spike that could jump across a tripped circuit breaker be protected from by a surge protector?  For example, by the Furman PST-8 that has been talked about in this thread?  Thanks again.

Probably the one that’s included.

Well, this is interesting, I am looking at the picture of a PST-8 on Amazon and it shows a detachable 3' cord, and then I am looking at a PST-8 on Sweetwater and it is showing the power cord hardwired into the PST-8.  Hmmmm?  (The PST8 from 'Zon costs about $20 more.)  I guess I'll order the one from 'Zon and unless someone on this thread advises agsindt, I think I'll grab a heavier cord that is 3' long.  I think I'll order this one in 3' long:

Furman pst-8, had mine going on 4 or 5 years. Works great.

@immatthewj pay no attention to the pics, they all come w/ attached cord. Your seeing a listing for extra 3ft cords for sources.

Best to unplug equipment when there is a TS warning. That’s your best protection. Pia, but it’s guaranteed.
