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

Not a joke...
Call Hughes, meaning telephone, vocal, voice, not email, and ask for TECH. Ask them to define SURGE SUPPRESSOR, and don't fall for Herb Tarlek answers like "Oh it has stuff inside to filter bad electricity"
Does the autoformer have MOVs?
Does the autoformer have avalanche rectifiers? Transient Voltage Protectors they are denoted "TVS"
If the answer to these questions is vague, so is the product. Take it for what's it's worth. You will end up with partial voltage correction and minimal "surge protection"
