I got a Tripp Lite surge protector years ago and so glad I did. When I bought this old 122 yo house I figured it had super old wiring. Told my electrician to check all the wiring down in the basement where I'd be putting my sewing room. I also had to have the fuse box changed out to a breaker box so told him to add the whole house surge protector to it. When I went to plug in my Tripp Lite Surge protector it screamed "line fault" meaning it was not grounded. So I caught my electrician not doing the job I paid him to do. I also have my IQ robotics on a separate surge protector as I was told they should be on separate ones so I do as I'm told. I also unplug them when I'm not using them for a long period of time or when I storm is brewing outside. Can't be too careful with our toys.
Also, I turn the surge protectors on and off instead of turning on the machines and robotics.
