Why would electronic equipment ever need plug-in suppressors - which are
not well earthed and can not possibly work???

The required statement of religious belief in earthing.

w_ is a fan of Josef Goebbels - if you repeat the lie often enough,
people will believe it. Too bad w_, it doesn’t seem to be working.

As always, *NEVER* a link to another lunatic that says plug-in
suppressors are NOT effective.

As always *NEVER* answers to simple questions:
- Why do the only 2 examples of protection in the IEEE guide use plug-in
suppressors?
- Why does the NIST guide says plug-in suppressors are "the easiest
solution"?
- How would a service panel suppressor provide any protection in the
IEEE example, pdf page 42?
- Why did Martzloff say in his paper "One solution. illustrated in this
paper, is the insertion of a properly designed surge reference equalizer
[multiport plug-in surge suppressor]."
- Why does SquareD say in addition to their "whole house" suppressors
"electronic equipment may need additional protection" from plug-in
suppressors?

For real science read the IEEE and NIST guides. Both say plug-in
suppressors are effective.

Bizarre claim - plug-in surge suppressors don't work
Never any sources that say plug-in suppressors are NOT effective.
Twists opposing sources to say the opposite of what they really say.
Invents opinions and attributes them to opponents.
Attempts to discredit opponents.
w_ is still a purveyor of junk science.

Not so big an expense if you think about your Mac dying due to a power outage
- or worse yet - a brownout.

Buy a UPS and configure your software to shut down your Mac if there's less
than 10 minutes of UPS power remaining.
