Q: Does it need to be grounded?

A: Yes anything with current should be grounded!

Q: The specifications say No overload protection - isn't that the same as surge protection? Is there any connected equipment guarantee or do you just hope it works?

A: Hi GJ, There is a difference between surge protection and overload protection. Overload protection, which is what this device has, will disconnect the load (trip the breaker) if the total current exceeds the individual (or combined) outlet rating (in this case 15 amps per outlet). If you have any questions or concerns, please use the link below to reach us and also you can contact this phone number 877-467-4289 for further assistance.

Q: Can this replace a GFCI receptical?

A: While it can be a slave to another outlet with GFI circuitry (typically one GFI will protect more than one outlet in newer homes), it does not replace the GFI function.

Q: Does this unit use electricity when nothing is plugged into it?

A: Like a TV, it "uses" a very small amount of electricity to power a small LED all the time, but this is actually to help it use up less energy after things are unplugged, and to indicate that the surge protector is working. I'd say the energy slip is pretty negligible though. Probably uses less energy than your lights and ceiling fans use in a few minutes.

Q: How many joules is the surge protector?

A: The more important question is what is the clamping voltage and is proper surge protection wired in. Clamping voltage is 500V which is not great and it only has L-N protection, which is very limited.

Q: It can be used overseas in 220 volts?

A: Nope, unless there's a converter on the system to 110 volts.
