re: Surge Protector/ Power Strip for Home office recommendations?

Surges are a current source - not a voltage source. Electrical engineers know why that difference is so significant.

As an electrical engineer with a PE in multiple states, this statement right here shows how much you are missing on this subject. Surges can be both current and voltage sourced and you must protect against both options.

For example, SPDs were previously named TVSS by the National Electric code. TVSS stands for transient "voltage" suppression system. This is because the whole basis of how MOVs operate. MOVs are operated based on voltages. They don't just see current. They can't. They are not inline devices.

SPDs are designed to protect against both voltage spikes and current surges.

So please, before you do anymore attempts at trying to convince people you understand proper surge protection, do some basic research. The misinformation can be dangerous.

Thanks.
