w forgets to mention that Martzloff said in the same 1994 document:
"Mitigation of the threat can take many forms. One solution.
illustrated in this paper, is the insertion of a properly designed
[multiport plug-in surge suppressor]."
Where is surge energy dissipated? Effective
protection means surge energy is dissipated harmlessly in earth. Bud
says his plug-in protector with no earthing makes that energy
disappear.
If the village idiot could read he would have found much of the answer
in a previous post. Arc-over in the service panel dumps most of the
surge energy to earth.
w has a religious belief (immune from challenge) that surge
protection must directly use earthing. Thus in his view plug-in
suppressors (which are not well earthed) can not possibly work. As I
have previously pointed out, the IEEE guide explains plug-in
suppressors work by CLAMPING (limiting) the voltage on all wires
(signal and power) to the common ground at the suppressor. The guide
explains earthing occurs elsewhere. (Read the guide starting pdf page
40).
Bud will post incessantly.
w will post incessantly.
His religious belief in earthing has been challenged and cracks are
developing in his universe.
If Bud was honest,
he would have provided plug-in protector specs in every post. He
cannot.
If w were intelligent he would have seen the specs I have posted
numerous times in other threads. But w can’t see anything that
conflicts with his religious belief in earthing.
Bud is paid
to promote power strip protectors.
To quote w "It is an old political trick. When facts cannot be
challenged technically, then attack the messenger." My only
association with surge protectors is I have some.
But with no technical arguments, w has to discredit those that
oppose him.
Bud is a troll who follows me everywhere posting insults and half
truths
My half truths come from the IEEE and NIST.
Being evangelical in his belief in earthing, w trolls google-groups
for "surge" to paste in his religious tract to convert the heathens.
I got tired after seeing his drivel at least 5 times in one year on 2
newsgroups I watch. One of them is alt.engineering.electrical where w
got no support. I don’t think w has ever received support on any
technical newsgroup.
Still missing, of course, any source that agrees with w that plug-in
suppressors do NOT work.
Still missing, of course, 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"?
- Why does the NIST guide say "One effective solution is to have the
consumer install" a multiport plug-in suppressor?
- Why did Martzloff say in his paper "One solution. illustrated in
this paper, is the insertion of a properly designed [multiport plug-in
surge suppressor]"?
For real science read the IEEE and NIST guides. Both say plug-in
suppressors are effective. So are UPSs with the equivalent circuits.
