surge protector

A surge protector will not. A Surge Guard Power Protector and better yet a Progressives Industries Power Protector will. So it depends on what you are calling a surge protector.

A volt meter reads volts/amps/ohms/watts, depending on which one you get and can be 120 and/or 12 volt.

Thanks,I know it wont help.I am trying to figure out if a surge protctor will indicate a low or high voltage to protect my air conditioner the same as a plug in voltage monitor.

I don't think the two are similar in any way.

A true surge protector protects against transient voltage spikes. A power protector detects high/low voltage, etc. and disconnects. A autoformer boots low voltage.
