This is NOT a surge protector also, is it?

Actually on the back it says "Surge protective devices", it doesn't say how much surge protection. It also says: "125 Vac 50/60Hz 15A USB 5V DC 3A VPR L-N 1200, L-G 1000, N-G 1000 UL No. E363654 Surge protective devices CAN ICES -3(B)/NMB -3(B)" Maybe some of that was helpful? Brenda

i don't think it is a surge protector. it does act like a circuit breaker and shuts off when it gets too hot. you'd really need to ask the manufacturer about surge protection.

There is a UL Listed sticker on the bottom of the surge protector. Here's a link to a photo:http://aehass.zenfolio.com/p218402084/h370c0f13#h370c0f13

Yes. Its basically a plug with a on/off switch on the side. You could plug a surge protector into it but why not flip the surge protector switch off? According to the box its rated for 120v / 15A /60Hz /1800w so you just don't want to exceed that.

I didn't have one. Sounds more like a power strip to me. I had the same equipment, each on its own adapter, outlet. I didn't have surge protection, it an was fine but could have been luck of the draw. If you want added peace of mind, then get it.

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.

Without digging out the instructions, I'm 98% sure NO. These have a line and load connection...basically power in and power out to send surge protected power to another location.

Yes. The purpose of this surge protector is to protect your RV from sudden voltage spikes that can damage your electronics. Breakers wont protect from that.

I use mine in the kitchen where a surge protector laying on the counter is not convenient. I have it on my toaster as well as the coffee maker.

I have not had a problem with this surge protector. I have all my computer equipment plugged into it.

The unit provides protection against electrical spikes and surges. Your problem is with the electrical utility provider could be a transformer issue

No, that is not the purpose of this unit. This is a power conditioned, a glorified surge protector, not a charger.

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.

Mine is plugged into a surge protector with other items, and it works just fine. I would not guess that that should be happening. Perhaps you have a bad section of the surge protector. I'd try moving the items around on the surge protector and seeing if that helps. But, that shouldn't be happening.

I didn't look at the other comments before responding... sorry. More is better, opinions vary, nothing is perfect, I deemed this adequate and it insures my warranty is not invalidated for not using a surge protector. Regarding how much more you might want, here is one reference: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/everyday-tech/surge-protector7.htm

It does not need a surge protector and just plugs into a 110 volt electric socket. But overseas outlets may be different and require an adapter. Need to research wherever you are going to be.

The photo makes it look like it is a surge protector outlet. However the one I received from Amazon only contained a regular outlet. I ended up swapping it for a low voltage stereo connector plate, so I didn't really examine regular outlet closely.Hope this helps.
