Clean power surge protectors are the same to me as scotch guard protection at the dealer, sure they work I guess but overkill IMO

I'm not talking about the clean power claims. I'm talking about the basic function. I'll have to ask my neighbors if they had your run of the mill surge strips providing outlets to their nuked equipment. I seem to recall they did.

You can think an ACME surge protector would have done the same. I have proof the Monster surge protector I used protected everything that was plugged into it as it happened to me. Not I heard of someone that it happened to. In addition, a few weeks later, I installed a whole house surge protector in the main panel.

I knew you (among others) would get it and derive amusement from it.

I suffered from a massive power surge that tripped a breaker in my house. It was interesting the path the power surge took. The Monster surge protector did its job by sacrificing itself. I could hear components rattling around inside of it and burnt electronics smell. This same surge which resulted from a couple of transmission lines crossing due to a work truck colliding with a utility pole sent a power spike to two of my neighbors. They didn't fair so well. They lost thousands in electronics.

Getting a warranty claim with Monster also couldn't be easier. I called them to let them know what happened. The rep got my info and said he'd get a new surge protector sent out to me and asked if I needed to start a claim for any attached equipment that was damaged. I told him fortunately, no.

Just going thru this now. I came home to a dead internet after last weeks storm. Apparently I finally figured out that the lightening hit so close it created basically a EMP hit. It came down my internet antenna (I have beamed in internet) and smoked the antennas POE adapter then followed the CAT6 to my wifi router and smoked JUST the internet in port. Took me awhile to figure out what happened since everything else on it worked - including the wifi network. Weird. Got a new one ordered that arrived today.

Then pulling in last night I noticed one of my 3 trickle chargers were not lit up. I tried it in other working plugs and no dice. I check the other 2 and it smoked ALL three of them on separate circuits - yet didn't trip a breaker or harm anything else. Told my neighbor and he said it got his smart thermostat and his trickle charger was also tripped, but when he reset it it came back on. All 3 of mine are dead.

Must have been a strike between our houses. I have a ethernet ground port on the way to me now.........

Your user name seems rather appropriate for this story.

It has been rather appropriate for MANY things in my life - luckily all minorish things. Everyone around me laughs at my luck, but it is pretty rock solid. I never get cancer or hit by a bus, but if I stop in a C Store everyone in a 100 mile radius wanting to buy lotto ticket will have arrived milliseconds before me.

I am famous for the weather improving when I leave town and turning to shit where ever I go. My friends wishing for good weather would post on social media for me to leave town for a week........

It's all good, but if it can happen - it will to me.

I can empathize with you. My luck is that inanimate objects and I don't get along very well, like I'll pick up a shovel that a friend has owned and used for years and the handle will break before I even start using it... stuff like that. ALL THE TIME.

Goin' exactly the wrong direction if you ask me. They should be starting with the G80 and grafting the e9x bumper/grill on to it.

No, it's not in Japan. It's most likely China. The language in the photo is Chinese.
