bse48 asked:

My laptop, printer, etc are plugged into a strip surge protector. If I turn the surge protector off in an effort to save money, will it still protect my equipment? I would like to turn everything off at night and turning the strip off would be convenient but I want to still have my electronic equip protected.

Is it better to connect the coaxial/satellite cable from the wall to a surge protector or directly to the TV?

Deck asked:

I have a fairly high-end Philips surge protector made for home theatre, yet I’m curious if it is transfering the signals correctly from the satellite to my HDTV.

What is the best surge protector ratings to remove noise from power source?

Posted April 9th, 2009 by admin 1 Comment »

x3_d_e_s asked:

The generator company suggested that we use a noise suppression device. Surge protectors have an EMF/RFI rating, but some are listed as 150KHz to 100MHz and others are listed as 40 to 80 dB.

Which would be better for removing “snow”/interference from the electronic equipment when using a generator? Or what would be recommended rating?
