Does it cover electrical power surges.

I would assume that it does cover it. You call them up, they send you a box to return the item.

I have not experienced a surge while using it so far. I think in case of a surge it will cut power off automatically to protect the appliances connected to it. To reset, press the button on the side of one end of the power strip.

Yes it does but like me I never plug my big electronics and my DJ gear directly into the wall I always use a surge protector its worth it I fried one of my old mixers at a party it sucked so I do recommend using a surge for your big and expensive stuff you don't want fried

I am not an electrician; however, I did watch while mine was installed. The electricinn stated that the unit covered everything on the entire circuit panel.

Yep, it's supposed to do. See the details pane: 2160 Joules of protection *7 surge-protected AC outlets

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.

The SYCOM whole house surge protector can do both. I installed one on my circuit breaker box will little trouble. I haven't yet had a lightning strike or surge, so I haven't had the opportunity to see it work.

I have not used surge protectors and have had it in place for several years with no problem. I'm not in a lightning prone region, but we do have occasional thunderstorms.

it needs to be replaced because it took an electrical surge to protect your equipment

No, it doesn't but make sure you plug it in the wall not a surge protector.

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.

We have had power outages and nothing bad happened to electronics plugged in to it. But don't know if we have actually had a surge. We mostly use it as a charging station.

You are reading the description wrong. It states it circuit breaker protected, not surge protected. Circuit protected is basically if it is wattage overloaded the circuit breaker pop and you will have to reset it once the overload is removed. This unit is not a surge protector. Depending on your level of surge protection needed and you want an inexpensive surge protector you should look at the GE 14707 on Amazon. It sells for $9.99 Prime. It has 104 joules of surge protection.

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

I have opened this item up and there is nothing internal that suggests that it has a capability to be a "surge" protector. If you need a real "actual" surge protector unit; then purchase one that has that one specific design to it. Don't expect a power strip to have this function you are looking for. (Oh, by the way I am an Electrical Engineer with over 40 years experience)

absolutely. The breakers prevent from overloading the circuit ONLY. This device protects against surges, high voltage, low voltage, open neutrals or grounds, etc. Small price to pay to save several thousands worth of electrical devices

Yes, you can plug it into a surge protector, and the timer will be protected from electrical spikes.
