Yes, that is what some surge protectors do, some very expensive ones are actually "line conditioners" that can "fix" some problems.. The one you are looking at tests first, doing the same thing a tester does..

| Originally posted by mjlrpod Another question has come up. Can anyone verify this? people are saying they use a tester, to check the box, before they plug in the surge protector. Do we really need to do that?? they are saying they check it first, cause they dont want the surge protector to get fried. I'm thinking, get fried? why would it get fried, isnt it supposed to cut the power and make sure nothing gets fried, including itself?? I hate to think i have a couple hundred dollar unit that will burn out if i plug it into a bad outlet. sheeeeesh |
