A:AnswerI 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.
A:AnswerIf 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:AnswerNo 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
A:AnswerThis 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:AnswerThis isn't a circuit breaker, so there is no reset. The device within the surge protector that actually does the job, has a life that will be consumed. So a small surge might allow the unit to continue to function after it directs the surge current to ground. A larger surge current could possibly consume all of its ability to absorb any future surges. The light on the device is an indication of the state of the ability to absorb a surge, i.e. the health of the surge suppressor. So if it no longer green, the 2 outlet surge protector will need to be replaced.
A:AnswerUnfortunately "normal conditions" when it comes to surge conditions, is anything but, because it varies widely depending on so many things. So unfortunately, there is no real way to tell.
One way to find out, install one and see what happens for your circumstances. If you install it on something that is valuable and it absorbs the surge instead of destroying whatever is plugged into it, you'll have found out how long it lasts while saving replacing the protected device.
A:AnswerNo, looking at the picture there aren't any output terminals like a GFCI would have. Anything down the line would have to be connected before, not through this device, even if the wire uses the same box.
