Autoformer/Surge Suppressor
In the market for a surge suppressor and find that the Hughes RV2130 Autoformer says it's also a surge suppressor . Does this mean there is no need to have both? Thanks,Mike

I would not buy an autoformer for surge protection.
Ditto.
The Hughes autoformer manual hedges at just how much protection its autoformers offer: "Voltage booster with some surge and spike protection"
Exactly what does "some" mean? Hughes doesn't tell you.
It sounds like a Hughes autoformer has some surge protection, but no electrical fault protection (open neutral, open ground, etc).
