Autoformer
What would be the proper sequence of using an Autoformer and a surge protector from coach to post?
Forum Discussion
An informed consumer asks questions. The right questions BEFORE HE BUYS something.
My ***** is that the word SURGE SUPPRESSOR is being used as a buzzword. "Buy a SURGE SUPPRESSOR and all your troubles go down the drain".
With batteries, charging systems and electrical devices I try my hardest to educate anyone willing to listen to ask THE RIGHT QUESTIONS. I am poverty-stricken so trying to play the part of CONSUMER REPORTS is ludicrous, financially as well as logistically.
I have ZERO SYMPATHY for anyone who is aware of controversy in hypermarketed gizmos who is too lazy to pick up a telephone and call the manufacturer or distributor of a device whose value is hundreds of dollars. It is their choice. Not mine.
It is also not the least responsibility of my own to do ten minutes of research for someone. It COSTS MONEY to telephone a company from Mexico and it takes time. I do it when I have questions about a purchase. Someone who has ten times the income as myself who is too lazy to telephone a non twenty-dollar telephone call deserves what he gets.
I point out an extremely valid weakness in electrical protection circuitry. A vulnerability that can cost a consumer many hundreds of dollars short term and a small fortune in long term shortened lifespan of components.
I explain how and I explain why, in plain English. If some folks could care less then it's their pony and western. In the process someone says "Hey wait! The Fratchamajigger 3000 has those things, then we all learn and benefit.
Too many companies engage in sleazy or ignorant engineering and manufacturing practices. Buzz Words are slung around like BS in a barn. When I manufactured alternators I played things on the straight and narrow. When I tested batteries when I spent a King's Ransom on R&D for pulse desulfation, I played things on the straight and narrow. No hyperbole, no gibberish, and no salesmanship.
It really frosted my orbs when I disassembled a fifty-dollar gift (my birthday) SURGE SUPPRESSOR and found thirty-cents worth of MOVS. The area is a plain ripoff. Genuine suppressors should have around seven dollars (retail) worth of LARGE MOV's, a five dollar GAS TUBE DISCHARGE component and a buck's worth of TVs connected to line, neutral and earth. These are retail prices. OEM gets a tremendous price break.
Tech Writer if you are serious about Helping - can you contact the companies you inquired about and find out if they are even willing to reveal IF they have anything more than a few MOVs inside them?
Other HELPFUL contributors can telephone HUGHES and other voltage correction device manufacturers and do the same thing. DO YOUR AUTOFORMERS CONTAIN GAS TUBE DISCHARGE AND/OR TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SUPPRESSOR DEVICES?
I for one will be interested in their replies. I will be especially interested to hear "Oh those things are not needed in our miracle device"
