The storm had already turned off all power to the house when lightning hit very near the house. Would surge protectors still protect equiptment?

shrubber asked:
I bought a pretty nice surge protector to install whole-house. However, I had to put off the project till now. I’ve realized I received a 3-phase Wye unit instead of a split phase. Can I hook up my hot to one of the phases and use it?

drewsdesigns asked: I’m looking for any solutions or gadget/device to get an email alert when there is a power outage at my house.
So far what comes to mind is some kind of battery backup device with ethernet or phone connection.
I dont mind to leave my pc on 24/7 but this isn’t ideal.

We can’t seem to find the battery–if any. Does the plastic casing come apart to reveal the battery? The beeping started when the power throughout the house was off yesterday for an hour.

robert w asked:
Experiencing a continuous hum noise in house. We have turned off all power to house and it still exists. We have also disconnected the cable and home security battery power. Only thing I can think of is the home theater radio freq. devices or the fire and ion w/ battery backup detectors. Any Suggestions? Totally confused ! Thanks
The sound is throughout the house. No noise around breaker box, no hot breakers, etc. Power transformer is about 120 feet from home. Thanks
