About a year ago, our power company had a voltage spike that took out appliances and electronics in several homes in our neighborhood. We lost several electrical devices, including 2 badly blackened (scarily blackened) brand X surge suppressors, a garage door opener and 8 GFI outlets. Our desktop PC, office printer, and monitor were protected by a Tripplite surge protector and were undamaged (although the Tripplite unit's surge circuit was rendered inoperative#. After this incident, I improved our surge protection with 3 Tripplite surge protectors. This included an ISOBAR8ULTRA on my audiophile sound system and a second on my HD TV and surround sound system. These surge suppressors are top quality. For audiophiles, each of the 4 outlet pairs are electrically isolated, improving the power supply separation of individual components. While these are a bit expensive, the confidence I have in Tripplite (quality and long business history) along with the high replacement cost of my electronics make the price paid for an ISOBAR8ULTRA insignificant.
An absolute necessity for all my electronics. I have gaming consoles, stereo equipment and a large HDTV so I need several protected outlets in one place. This unit is so solid in construction and performance that I have had nothing to worry about since plugging it in.
I have used the Iso-Bar Ultra surge supressors for years in an industrial and office envirnment. These units have protected PLC and PC equipment from lightning strike nearby spikes. Great hardware and always dependable.
