    #2 question to answer when getting surge protectors: What is the Clamping Voltage (also called by industry "Voltage Protection Rating" = VPR).
    I couldn't find the Clamping voltage for this device.

    The info below is FROM A DIFFERENT ITEM, ON AMAZON. But I am showing it to teach you why a LOWER clamping voltage is important, otherwise the surge protector is worthless?
    • Q: What is the clamping voltage?
      A: From the back of the device [NOT THIS DEAL, A SIMILAR DEVICE, DIFFERENT SELLER]: VPR (L-N): 800V. VPR = Voltage Protection Rating = Clamping voltage = Let through voltage. A GOOD surge protector would have 3 voltages listed; (L-N), (L-G) and (N-G). And would have 3 ratings of 330 or 400V. This is a bad surge protector.
    • [NOT THIS DEAL, A SIMILAR DEVICE, DIFFERENT SELLER] looks and works well as a current tap. But it is not a good surge suppressor. I was fooled by the 1800J rating. The better gauge of worth (the part tested by ETL) is the let through voltage (aka clamping voltage or VPR). You want 330V or 400V for all three wire pairs.
    • You get 800V over one wire pair. The picture shows one MOV and one GDT; you want at least 3 MOVs. The 1800J should mean that the surge protector will work for many years. The 800V rating means it will let through 790V death surges to your electronics while "working."

    One of the reviews does the favor of including the image of the back of the device where, according to labeling requirements, the documented voltage protection rating is included in the injection molding. I've attached the image but I think I make it out as 900V (L-N). The review also included images of the front to allow confirmation that these are for the correct model.

    This kind of device is indeed intended for a buyer who needs a basic power strip with some cursory surge protection. This device is not designed for anyone seeking serious surge protection. If you just need some extra outlets and accessory charging this should be more than acceptable. This is particularly true when you consider that this device has all the appropriate UL listings:

    Good luck!

    Thanks for finding that info Smilie
    Can you/anyone explain to me how a device with 900V Clamping voltage can be of any benefit to give "some cursory surge protection"?

    Because as far as I read, someone correct me - if a device is letting in 900Volts before the surge protection activates - then the attached electronics are fried, since 900V is a lot to small electronics. Am I correct?
    Does this device offer any secondary surge or electronic protection that I am not aware of?

    Example use case:
    1. I go to a hotel, and want to use extra plugins with this device - that I plug into the hotel wall. PRO.
    2. CON or PRO: If A) lightening strikes the hotel (high Voltage surge?), or B) the building has a circuit trip or power spike by ACs going on/off] (low voltage surge or power irregularity) - does this device protect from either of those 2 dangers?
    Because correct me, but in example #B, even if it's a low-surge irregularity not related to lightening - then this device would not kick in until 900V (high)?
    Thus I only see the benefit of this device as: extra plugs and USB ports in a travel size?? (which I need, just wondering if any device also gives 300V clamping Volts in a travel size, for a reasonable price)??

    Thank you.
