Hi Kevin. Please contact me asap. The information in your video is not 100% accurate. It can be misleading to consumers, and I strongly recommend an update. I am the designer of some of those surge protectors and have been manufacturing surge protectors for 34 years. Regards, Jason
For all of you asking, I went into a bit of a deep dive here. Essentially, lightning surge protection and loadshedding protection are not equivalent. Lightning is very high spike and on a micro-second scale. For loadshedding, you will experience under/over voltage conditions (think 260V) for prolonged periods, say seconds/minutes. A lightning surge protector does NOT protect you from the effects of under/overvoltage from loadshedding instability....you need an AVR to hold the power off during this period. EDIT: I dont know if the guy is the legit designer or not, he apparently holds patents but I'm not going to vouch for anyone. Ellies does the same kind of plugs, maybe its on license who knows. But what I've said above is true regardless
Great video.
Valuable information. Thank you 👍.
