[QUOTE="LAV, post: 76603, member: 1123"] For what you want to do, the UPS is probably overkill. A gas tube surge arrestor is just one of many types of surge protection devices. It is a sealed gas-filled tube which will "flash over" above a certain voltage threshold, thereby discharging the offending spike / surge to ground. Also have a look here: http://www.surgetek.co.za/products.php?mode=lv_surge_prot&type=c1 Most electrical suppliers (contractors suppliers etc.) stock decent DB-mounted arrestors. (Of course, nothing beats leaving the stuff unplugged when you're not at home) [/QUOTE]
