Care to argue with my Tektronix oscilloscope? Or with ultra sensitive and precise "Rice Grain Fuses"? I do not see any of this in a marketed "surge protector". Price the fuses and you will see why. Individual component fusing is the only way to eliminate fires.
Supposed MOV protection devices go out-of-service after about a year down here.
And TVS devices exist as a sales ploy right? No way in the world is nanosecond reaction time relevant to circuit protection. Once again, "paper-rote" is extrapolated as the only reality. I base my considerations on failure rates of electronics. With additional circuit protection they do not fail. With standard "Surge Protectors" they fail. If I had no problems with inherent device protection I would not have gone looking for an alternative. Want a carton of "inherently protected" devices? I'll ship them to you. Many hundreds of dollars worth. All with failed surface mount logic devices.
