Device Manager either accesses the NIC. Or an NIC was the path used by lightning to connect to earth ground. If Device Manager shows an NIC,...
How often are temperatures inside your electronics exceeding 300 degrees F? Even Intel CPUs operated at 170 degrees C without damage....
Those reasons for powering off are valid. Invalid is some idea that power off protects from destructive transients. Also bogus is the popular...
A UPS connects a computer directly to AC mains when not in battery backup mode. That is when a computer sees cleanest power. You will not know if...
Power of a lightning bolt is similar to what a car's spark plug does. Does the spark plug create energy that moves a car? No. Research from...
Protection is always about where hundreds of thousands of joules (and lesser transients) dissipate. Nothing inside a building can dissipate that...
1) No matter how a house is wired (two wire or three; pre-1930 or post 2010), it makes no difference to surge protection. Protection is about...
Forget house wiring. It is not relevant. Wiring installed in 2010 or 1930 is sufficient to power all under13 amp appliances. Either the house...
No wall receptacle can connect to earth ground. That is first and foremost a human safety violation and a violation of the National Electrical...
If the box was properly grounded, then an installed outlet was already three prongs. The existence of a two prong outlet says the box is not...
First, I am constantly providing numbers. No numbers are why so many knew Saddam's WMDs were myth. Go back. Read which statements are backed by...
Are you really that dumb and stupid? I even made it easy for you. Easy to see how much AVR is inside all electronics. It is called a power...
AVR is inside all electronics. Sales brochures, to educate the naive, invent this strawman. Suddenly voltage variations that never harmed...
The only wire to a gas line is one that connects to the breaker box. Does not matter that the 8 AWG wire directly connects to the breaker box....
The picture is an example of any facility that does not have damage. That facility that also have radio equipment simply demonstrates more...
The average event is about once per seven years. With a typically lower frequency of CG type storms, your risks would be less. But it makes...
How long does it test the batteries? Many batteries look 100% when first measured. Batteries require loads and time to determine their state....
Read numeric specs on a power strip protector. Where does it claim protection from each type of surge? If it does protection, then numbers say...
And all that is found in 100 years of well proven knowledge. For example, those UPSes do not even claim protection. With or without them,...
The 330 volt number is on the box of every protector. To quote one box: "let-through voltage 330 v". Rather than make nasty accusation, go read...
S&S is a surge protector? What is the typical output of a UPS when in battery backup mode? This 120 volt UPS outputs 200 volt square waves with...
That Isobar did exactly what its numeric specs claim. And contrary to what a sales brochure said. Did you really think a 2 cm part inside that...
The HAL is the interface between standard Windows and each unique chipset. The power controller is part of that chipset - another of the unique...
Infinite. Just let it keep running. In the morning, learn if it powered off. Next night, do same. Collect a statistical fact. More loops...
Which is why running the Dell comprehensive hardware diagnostics overnight provides hard facts that even Dell cannot ignore. All Windows have...
