Specs are WRONG

As people have siad in the Q&A section, the clamping voltage on this "protector" is 500V which is a very poor protector. The box and the unit say this so not sure why they are lying on this site saying it is 330. I will be returning mine and buying a different brand!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, BBaller,
The 330V is the old UL standard. Now, the UL Standard requires a 400V to 500V and all of our current surge protectors meet that new requirement. Clamping voltage is the highest voltage that will develop across an MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor or surge protection device) based on an energy level. The new UL test standard provides more energy per time than the old test, so the clamping voltage goes up to about 400V or higher. The MOV is still the same MOV. It is the UL certification test that has changed, not the MOV.
