Reams of denials. And not even one fact. Many have a UPS that they claim is good five years later. Then we yanked its power cord. Computer crashed. A UPS with a lithium battery might last ten years. But those are a serious and potential house fire. Such UPSes will not be safe until solid state lithium is finally available. Maybe in ten years according to current research. No plug-in protector claims to last much beyond its first surge. Where as something completely different, called a surge protector, lasts for decades. If reasoning by first learning quantitative facts, then one knew that. UPS has MOVs? Another example of why the most naive are routinely duped. How many joules? Hundreds? If its surge protection was any smaller, then it could only be zero. No problem. Any number just above zero must be 100% protection. You said so. It must be true. They are not marketing to consumers who know how to think. They target consumers who are ordered to be conned - subjectively. How does its tiny five cent (near zero joule) protector part protect from a surge: hundreds of thousands of joules? Educated consumers know lying is legal in subjective sales brochures. Only place they cannot lie is in numeric specification. What is missing in every above subjective denial? Numbers. Not one number in any denial is always a first indication of an easy mark. Any MOV that fails by shorting out violates of what 'all' MOV manufacturers say. Anyone can read a box entitled Absolute Maximum Parameters. But that means one bothers to learn numbers BEFORE posting denials. MOVs that fail catastrophically are why puny protectors (with obscene profit margins) do this: A Tripplite? Maybe APC? Belkin? How about this Type 3 protector? In every case, its thousand joules would somehow 'block' what three miles of sky cannot? Or its tiny five cent protector parts would 'absorb' a surge: hundreds of thousand of joules? How many more numbers finally demonstrate reality? Anyone who automatically believes lies must post those subjective and empty denials. Honest man always says why numerically. Effective protector degrades. Must never fail catastrophically. An educated man properly earths one Type 1 or Type 2 protector. Because that is what ALL professionals recommend. It is never measured in joules. Effective because it is measured in amps - at least 50,000. Costs about $1 per appliance. Only known to consumers educated by facts with numbers. Only retarded is a person posting a 'retarded' accusation. Rather than posting well proven science - from over 100 years ago.
UPS does not claim to protect hardware. If it did, then posted were always required facts with numbers that define how. UPS is temporary and 'dirty' power so that unsaved data can be saved. To avert a reboot. It makes zero claims to protect hardware or saved data. As demonstrated by missing facts always found in tweets. For example, how many joules? Destructive transients can be hundreds of thousands of joules. How does its tiny hundreds joules protect from hundreds of thousands of joules? Why was this reality ignored? Many cannot be bothered to read (or discuss) what only matters - specification numbers. Also explains why many are routinely duped. If a UPS's hundreds joules were any smaller, then it could only be zero joules. No problem. Any number just above zero must be 100% protection. Somebody said so. It must be true. UPS power can be so 'dirty' that its manufacturer (quietly to protect profits) says to not power motorized appliances or protector strips. Since 'dirty' UPS power is problematic for less robust appliances. Since electronics are required to be among the most robust appliances in a house, then 'dirty' UPS power is ideal for all electronics. As long as you have a good quality one you’ll be fine. Where is a number that defines "good quality"? Is it a Tripplite? Maybe APC? Belkin? How about this Type 3 protector? In every case, its thousand joules would somehow 'block' what three miles of sky cannot? Or its tiny five cent protector parts would 'absorb' a surge: hundreds of thousand of joules? Educated consumers simply earth one Type 1 or Type 2 protector. To protect everything (dishwasher, clock radio, furnace, LED bulbs, stove, door bell, TVs, recharging electronics, modem, refrigerator, GFCIs, washing machine, digital clocks, microwave, dimmer switches, central air, smoke detectors). For about $1 per appliance. Effective protectors come from companies known for integrity. That also make all other electrical hardware in a house that does not fail catastrophically. And because it makes a low impedance (ie less than 10 foot) connection to what requires almost all attention. Those many interconnected earth ground electrodes. The single point earth ground. Where hundreds of thousands of joules are harmlessly 'absorbed'. Demonstrating that reality has too many words for those educated only by tweets and con artists. Any why 'quality' is only defined by numbers.
