That being said if you have the bar on or off it doesnt matter becuase the protection is physical not electrical if you follow. There is a breaker if you will in the bar that will trip if to much voltage comes at the bar. so if the bar is off it doesnt matter the circuit will still trip. hope this helps<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/management.htm"> zerocool662002</a> A surge protector has a circuit that controls voltage when the bar is plugged into the wall this circuit is going to have all the voltage pass through it.
