In case their is a spark. the plug will not be affected.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would guess the closer to the panel, the higher the surge possible. Amperage drops in the line after a certain distance and 30' is probably a safe distance to allow your SP to work best. Since surges come from many places other than lightning, you can better protect yourself by making sure your home, telephone, and cable wiring is properly grounded, and whenever possible, use a dedicated line for your computer and devices.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hum....not sure why that said that but my electrical panel is in the basement and the computer study is upstairs, more than 30 feet away from the house electrical panel.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Best advice, ask an electrician. It is likely the maker of the product wants to avoid any electrical hazards if something happens to your electric panel box.
