A: I had several of these protecting my TVs and washer and dryer. We had a surge due to a tree limb falling in a storm, knocking the service line to my house to the ground. None of the protected appliances were affected. However I failed to protect the fridge, stove, dishwasher and HVAC , they were fried and I lost them all. The surge protectors were toast but I saved over $4K of my appliances. So yes both outlets. Wish I had more of these installed at the time. These were the first things I replaced.
Q: Do these charge as fast as the "high speed" chargers?
A: This is an electrical outlet and as such works in much the same way. Does not have USB ports of any type.
Q: Can this be used for 220 volt outlet?
A: If you need 220V protection, you will need to install a 220V surge protection unit. Suggest using an Eaton CHSPT2ULTRA-1 whole house surge protector installed at your power panel. It does require a two pole 50 AMP breaker to install this unit, so your if your power panel is full, or do not have two spaces, you will have to have an electrician install a new panel. We have ten empty spaces left (now) on our panel and had to re-route two circuits to place the 50 AMP breaker close to the main. It takes about 1 hour to install if you have everything you need. It took me two hours because I had to make trips to the hardware store. The unit was installed to protect our new electronic controlled dryer and also protects our cooking range, water heater and water heater timer but also protects the whole house. This protects the whole house but we still use 110~125V surge protectors in case there is any stray or residual surges that might get through. 220V appliance usually have "some" surge protection, but minimal, that's why we installed the Eaton CHSPT2ULTRA-1 whole house surge protector. I do not work for Eaton. I am an engineer and once worked for an electrical contractor drawing plans and applying for permits. Some projects required surge protection and lightening strike protection. Learned a lot from investigating the requirements and codes for those projects. I do not know of may any aftermarket stand alone 220V surge protectors.
A: No You Must have a 3 wire Grounded Electrical System. You Need to have a New Service line run to where your Computer is and then you can use this Outlet
Q: Is the Insignia 2 Outlet In-Wall Surge Protector UL listed?
A: The Insignia NS-HW120S18 is UL-1449 certified.
Q: Can you take the face plate off of this and just have the outlet receptacle?
A: Yes, you can. I will mention that the face plate is thicker than a normal face plate but it does come off.
Q: HOW MANY JULES DOES THIS SURGE PROTECTOR HAVE?
A: This in-wall surge protector has a 1080-joule rating, absorbs a high amount of energy to adequately protect your equipment and prolong the life of the unit.
A: Standard US 120Volt with 15amps. Dina | Insignia Support | https://www.insigniaproducts.com/contact-us
