can this surge protector be used for tvs?

yes it would . but it seems it is the wrong choice for a TV a high tech surge protector made for TVs and computers seem a better choice . and really good ones come with guanrantees against damage by power surges . and believe me a relatives house was hit by lighting and with no surge protector the computer caught on fire and died.

Since this surge protector has standard male and female plugs, it can be used for TV, but if there is an overload that activates the protection causing it to interrupt voltage you will lose the picture.

Probably, but since modern TVs are actually computers one designed for a computer would probably be a better choice. Also, it has the annoying habit of beeping whenever these is a fluctuation is voltage. Mine is in the garage with duct tape over the beeper.

It could, but that's not what it's designed for. It's designed for appliances like washing machines, etc. that have electric motors as well as circuit boards. To protect a TV, you should use a surge protector designed for electronics only.

Sure. My favorite feature of the protector is that if it is compromised by a surge, it will start beeping about every 30 seconds to inform you if it is out of sight. I would not use it for electronics because it is designed to continue providing power to your refrigerator so your food will not spoil and in the event of a storm, it would not continue any additional protection and would let additional surges through.

Definitely a surge protector and is not MOV based, but a TVS diode surge protector. I find this type better for my Headphone amps. MOV based surge protectors seem to have a higher joule rating.

As long as the TV requires 12V of DC electricity input, and no more than 4A of current...and assuming the plug is the correct size, it will work. There should be a sticker on the back of the TV that tells you what voltage and current it needs. The plug size is pretty typical, so chances are good that it will work.

This coverter WILL NOT WORK for a 110- 120 volt TV.If the TV is designed to run on 12 volts, or 9 volts anddraws less than 2 amps, then yes.( it should do the Job)

Looking at the description, it says it's a surge protectory. However, I was only using it for the adaptor issues.

I have only tried using this on appliances and not with any electronics. However, I suspect that it would work with electronics like a TV.

Thank you for the question!It is not recommended to plug an extension cord or another power strip into a surge protector. It will still work, however the surge protection function will no longer work and your equipment will be at risk of surges.Globe Customer Appreciation Team

It has a low rating for surge protection so it has limited protection for a computer against lightning surges. I use a higher rated surge protector for expensive and sensitive electronics. This is OK for small appliances, etc.

No, the outlets are just regular outlets that are protected-there is no specific outlet made for protecting just a receiver or just a TV-plugs are not yet that specific.

As I understand it, this is adequate protection for surge, just like the extension strip surge protectors, just this fits in the wall behind your TV. That is what mine is being used for. http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/ProductDetail.jsp?partnumber=5280-W&section;=39994

No surge protection. It barely weighs anything. Not sure about the shielding. It's basically just a cheap power strip. If that's all you want then you will be satisfied.

I would get a heavy duty surge protector for an air conditioner. I think this unit is best suited for small electronics.

Surge protector are designed to stop the flow of current to your electrical device. This product is no different. It would either have to be reset or replaced depending on how heavy of a surge it received.

The surge protector is on in case of a power surge to protect your electrical appliances from shorting out

No. This isn't designed for televisions. If you do something like that, you're going to create a hazard. This is a component shelf.

no, this is not a surge protector. It is used to completely cut power to any appliance is that it is plugged into. for instance, I use this on my toaster oven which stays plugged into the wall always, and always draws trickle electricity. with the Belkin switch I only need to turn it off when I'm not using it turn it back on when I want to use it, thereby saving energy.

Unfortunately, with TVs there could be a high startup surge when turned on. Therefore, we can only recommend the VC750W, which handles any type of TV surge. Also, remember to add a plug adapter for India. We recommend the PB11 plug adapter.
