Surge Protectors

Frequently asked questions Surge Protector / Joules / BTU?

I had a Monster Power HT800 surge protector connected to my entertainment center. It's muggy outside so i thought it would be a good idea to plug in my air conditioner. (bad idea) Let me also mention that I live in an old house and I have only 1 outlet in my bedroom. With that being said I have 1 plug going to a Surge protector to my computer and on

Know an answer?


Answer The Joules rating is for the amount of energy in a surge or spike that it can absorb. It has nothing to do with the power handling capacity of the strip.

Outlet strips usually have a current or power rating that tells you how much power the devices plugged into it can have. But the strip in your link has no such rating, so I'd look for one that does have a rating. You probably want a 15 amp rating.

But I doubt the old

    Tips for European Travel

    1. My trips have been to Europe, not Botswana…it’s still “the western world,” so they have stores and electricity. For non-critical things (not meds, etc.), you can always go to the store. It ends up being a really cool cultural experience…as long as you keep that in mind and roll with it.

    2. Invest in some decent luggage. My wife and I purchased a pretty good (not awesome, not outrageously expensive) set years ago and it’s held up great. One universal truth wherever you go: you get what you pay for.

    3. I’ve also invested in…and I see it as that…some travel tools:

    -  My cell phone is international-capable, generally meaning it handles GSM. ( Huge series on international cell phones .) This means it’ll connect to international cell phone systems. Many new phones have it as a free, added feature. You still pay international rates, which can be pricey. Think about getting a SIM with a local number at your destination.

    - A good money belt is essential. The nicer ones have a plastic lining so your passport and money don’t get sweaty.
