Does it have surge protection? Can I use it in countries where they have 240 volt AC?

I have no idea. I live in the USA, and only know how it works here. I'm very sorry. I do know that when I accidentally plug too many power hogging devices in, the strip shuts itself off, rather than causing the fuse switch in the basement to shut off, so that saves me a trip down the stairs.

This is a 110 volt power strip. It's for use in the US and cannot be used for 220/240 volt applications. This is a power strip, not a surge protector.

It's not a surge protector if that's what you're asking. It's a heavy-duty extension cord so it'll handle a TV and player but it won't protect your electronics in a storm or other power surge. I use mine to lengthen the reach of my power strip, which is surge protecting. I plug a lamp into it as well as the lamp doesn't require such protection.

I don't think so, I use it as an adapter. I don't think it has the ability to be a proper surge protector. That is an opinion not a fact.

Yes, technically. However, there are a couple other, and better, options. The best option is to put the surge protection device at the breaker panel. This requires a hard wire connection to a double pole breaker, which would also require the availability of two free breaker slots, thus protecting both legs of the 240V service. The second option would be to use a smaller Tripp lite outlet strip that only has one or two receptacles, since code states that large appliance loads should be on individual circuits. This would keep honest people honest by not allowing multiple loads to be connected to the large appliance circuit. Yes, technically. However, there are a couple other, and better, options.

Yes, it is labeled for 100-240V, 50/60Hz. You will just need a plug adapter for whatever country you are visiting.

No.Even if you would modify this unit to fit (NOT recommended) it would not protect anything because there would be no ground on the unit. And even if you modify your outlets, AGAIN, it would NOT protect the equipment because there is NO GROUND connected. Why not purchase a cheaper unit that just distributes electricity but does not protect from surges.

Yes, it is a surge protector. That is it's main purpose. I had a surge a few weeks ago at a campground and nothing was affected. It is worth the peace of mind.

there is a European style plug included with the unit and it is rated for 240 volts

Yes. After spending over 10 years abroad, any device that states, "100 - 240V 50-60Hz", can be used anywhere there is electrical power. Having said that, make sure you have an adapter that fits the type of outlets where you're traveling. Standard prongs for America prongs my not fit.

This model is setup for 120 volts 60 Hz AC only. If you do not have access to 120 VAC you would have to check with the manufacturer to see if they have an adaptor or another model compatable with 240 volts.

I don't know. I use 120V, as is routine here in the U.S.. I haven't tested it with 240V. Good luck.

Worldwide Usability:This unit works with 100-240v AC power so it will work worldwide, you just have to adapt the plug to what your region is!

Takky Monster may have an international adapter surge Protector. This Monster product I purchased is designed for US 110vac home use. It has great features for this use.

G CArroll: No idea. I'm using it in the US with a standard line in from the utility pole. Hopefully this helps somewhat, if it all. Looking at a spec sheet it might work: http://surgelogic.com/documents/brochures/Residential_CT_6671CT9701Rev0812.pdf

No. Even with a plug adapter, the surge protector part is a problem. I have blown circuits and adapters this way. First, I blew the adapter in India. Then, I plugged it in at the airport lounge in the U.S. and killed that entire circuit. Guilty.

I have my surge protector connected to the disconnect of my mini-split heat pump, which operates on 240 volts. However, you could also connect it to a 240v/120V circuit breaker. It comes with a schematic showing how to connect it.
