bud-, Thanks for trying to help out here, but w_tom seems to ignore ALL
posts other than mine and also ignores points made by me in my posts that
are relevant.

He will not read the links you posted, nor ever believe anyone's view's but
his own, regardless of the qualifications the authors.

Regards,

DanS

Your technical knowledge remains insufficient. You have assumed wire
is a perfect conductor. You have assumed there is no difference
between earthing at the electrode and earthing at a wall receptacle.
More numbers. A 50 foot wire connection from wall receptacle may
measure less than 0.2 ohms resistance, but be 130 ohms impedance during
a 100 amp surge. Do the math. ....
Your religious views interferre with technical knowledge. The IEEE
describes plug-in suppressor action as clamping the voltage on all
wires to the common ground at the suppressor. Earthing is secondary.

With
technical knowledge, one understands why that earthing connection must
meet those electrical parameters.
Sorry, the 6 electrical engineers that wrote the IEEE and NIST guides
have a lot more technical knowledge than you. The NIST guide was writen
by the surge guru for the NIST who wrote numerous published technical
papers on surges, a number of which you have distorted to suport your
opinions.

The IEEE and NIST guides both say that plug-in suppressors are
effective.
Links to sites that say plug-in suppressors are effective: 2
Your links to sites that say plug-in suppressors are not effective:
zero, zip, nada
