How many joules of surge protection does this adapter provide?

I'm sorry I don't know. I only know that it did not work for me in Germany it blew my hairdryer, thank goodness I didn't use it to charge my phone. The fuse blew on it and I misplaced the spare, so I didn't use it after that, thank goodness my daughter had another different adapter that worked.

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

I have no idea; not a clue. You may want to contact the manufacturer and ask them. I have paid no attention to what you are referring to. I did not buy it for USB ports (no use for them; my laptop has plenty of them); I bought it for the surge protection it offered to my laptop. Sorry I could not help you.

Power strips with surge suppression has its abilty to absorb a surge measured in Joules. This product has the ability absorb 540 Joules. That is not a high amount compared to the model you mentioned which is rated at 840 joules. There are some surge suppressiors go up to 15,000, 30,000 (kilojoules) or more but are much more expensive. For inexpensive devices the lower ratings are sufficent. For a large screen TV or other expensive equipment go with the highest rating you can afford.

I agree with Tom below, EXCEPT that the power strip must not have a surge suppressor in it; Those TYPICALLY absorb voltages above about 140 to 150 VAC and turn the "surge" into heat. The nominal 230V EU voltage will promptly burn it out, probably with minimal (a pop and smell) or major consequences (the whole thing blowing apart.

I don't know. It's only for voltage as incurred in USA - 120 volts. Will not work for 220 volts. You probably need a product more like this: http://www.amazon.com/Tripshell-International-TR-Adap-BK-Adapter-Protection/dp/B000VMPWFA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1392671977&sr=8-4&keywords=belkin+international+surge+protector

This power strip has minor surge protection. I would not depend on this to protect anything important. I've used it plugged into another surge protector and then used the ends to plug the wall warts for things like my cell phone, tablet, and laptop which don't all like to plug into normal power strips so easily. This is good for devices that have fat wall wart transformers.

On the "Technology Research Website" they give some specs but the not the most important "clamping voltage" which I found through reading various sites. The joules rating is 510 but a low joules rating is not necessarily an indicator of an inferior product as wikipedia's reasonably good article discusses. Response time is usually very good for MOV types as I think this is since MOV is the least expensive design (wikipedia again:) Thats what I've learned so far. This product also looks more promising than the similarly priced & rated product that doesn't claim protection but only says "Surge Status Indicator" So I haven't decided to buy yet myself but hope the info helps others who are interested. P.S. I just called tech support at 800 780-4324 and was told the clamping voltage on this model is 700 volts. I have read that 400 or less is best on some sites about surge protection. The manuals for their other models show a lower clamping voltage and may be better.

Not sure? But i had my laptop and printer plugged in to a surge protector that was plugged in to the generator. It was plugged in for 7.5 hours with no trouble.

The higher the Joules rating for a surge protector, the better the protection for your electronic device. If you have an expensive flat screen TV, computer, etc., myself, I would have a device rated at 1000-1500 Joules or more, at minimum. The Leviton 15 Amp outlet is rated at 720 Joules and I believe the same for the 20 Amp outlet. For the higher rated surge protectors, you would have to use a power strip. So, I would say Chuck is correct. But, the Leviton surge outlets are better than a standard outlet that provide no protection!!

It'll maintain power to the device. I'm not sure what the surge suppression is rated at (jewels), so I can't say that it will offer complete protection.

the whole subject is confusing, it probably depends on the amount of the surge, this device can handle 3300 Jules, I am not sure what that relates to.according to this >>>http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=amb_link_429706962_1?ie=UTF8&node;=10529927011&pf;_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf;_rd_s=product-alert&pf;_rd_r=19QKWR54MDV4AK3PP4YD&pf;_rd_t=201&pf;_rd_p=2033310062&pf;_rd_i=B0000510R4you are covered but not 100%.I think you should call the manufacturer, but you will prob get fuzzy answers.Bottom line, its better than nothing at all

I would not use this adapter for anything over about 10W. 15 Amps is out of the question as the adapter blew up a 50W heating pad.

The power adapter it comes with plugs into the wall and takes 100-240VAC. It provides 5VDC at 2.6A. This means you could power up to 5 devices at the maximum rated USB power (500mA each). It should be more than enough for standard peripherals (keyboard, mouse, printer, webcam, etc.)

If you notice on the description, they sort of "hide" the full details of most items, if you click the link just below it that says to view more, this surge protector claims to carry-through 1800W. I can't verify this since I have picked up my own, but maybe someone else who's purchased it can.

Most of the answers are reviewing the older version. In 2014 the part was upgraded to provide 2.1A for charging. The surge rating was also moved up to 900 Joules.

Go to campingworld.com and they have the specs on many of the surge protectors.

Most likely because the typical 120 volt home wall outlet that you would be plugging the surge protector into, is only rated foe 15 amps
