Hummmmmmmmmmmm! Please educate me if incorrect. My understanding of most inline surge protectors is that they protect YOUR electrical system (especially very sensitive electronic components) from externally generated surges (power company or line voltage) not internally generated surges. Your in house fuses and circuit breakers do that.
External surges could be the result of lightning strikes on conductors, transformers, switch gear, or high demand loads which turn on/off outside your system, remote transformers coming on/going off line due to power company (grid) requirements, etc.
