  Check out pricewheeler.com and look into the Brick Wall product. I believe Zero Surge is also based on this technology. Read the white papers and you'll see why it's the best technology you can get and is second only to unplugging your equipment.

  1. Square D surge protector, installed in double pole breaker space in panel.

  2. Dedicated audio/video (240volt/30amp) circuit/ subpanel, with a 4 pole disconnect installed before subpanel to instantly "pull the plug" on everything.

  3. Zerosurge surge protector on RPTV

  4. Cable company installed a drop amp to increase signal, which also includes surge protection.

  5. Installed BNC connectors where above cable goes into primary components, for quick disconnection.

  6. Got the whole family trained to unplug/turn off everything when storms arrive.

  My home theater uses two surge protectors in tandem. If I know a lightning storm is coming I unplug eveything. I also unplug my computer' surge protector every time I shut it down. Last summer I learned the hard way when a lightning strike took out a power amp, two pats of my computer, and my well pump which was 12 feet underground.

    1. Surge/lightning protector at the service entry point.
    2. Local surge protection at the appliance.
