That plug-in protector does not claim to handle anything.
Humor for the day.

Have
doubts? Then put up their numerical specifications for each type of
transient. Little hint. No such numerical claims exist.
A bs argument. You have never provided a link to any site that has the
specs you say are required. If you could look at the nice pictures in
the IEEE guide you could see power wires have MOVs H-N, H-G, N-G -
covering all modes. In addition, common mode surges (H & N lift away
from G) coming in on the power line are converted to transverse mode
surges (H lifts away from N & G) by the N-G bond in US services.


Hardware protectors that are effective are those that have that
dedicated earthing wire.
Your religious views on earthing are not shared by the IEEE or NIST.
Plainly described in the IEEE guide - protection is by clamping, not
earthing.



They are
good at getting others to strongly endorse myths - as demonstrated in
this thread. Where are the numbers? Not provided because so many know
only using subjective reasoning.
I have provided links from the IEEE and NIST that say plug-in surge
suppressors are effective. You have provided your myths and subjective
reasoning.
