Which Surge protector to buy?

Vishvas Sudarshan

I've been wanting to purchase a surge protector for a long time, I saw some good discounts on amazon.com and thought that its the right time to purchase.

I don't know which one to buy as I have little knowledge about them.

 

My requirements :

1) I'll need it for my PC, router and speakers.

2) The protector must have RJ45 protection.

3) And our UPS isn't pure sine wave, so my PSU makes a buzzing sound. Can a surge protector help with this?

 

I came across this- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0084DFL9A/  But you guys should tell me whether I should buy it or not!

 

Oh and I'll be shipping it to India.

 

And will it work with 220v 50Hz?

 

Thanks! :)

You won't see fireworks, that surge protector is build for 125 V so it isn't going to work.

I guess its the same principle as AC surge protection.

If excess voltage is detected, the excess is sent to the ground wire, thereby keeping what's plugged in, safe.

I don't think that will work because the output voltage will be 125 V too.

My PSU, Monitor, router and speakers say 120-220v input!
