What A Genuine "Surge Supressor" Does For A Living

You must have one of those basic model RV's. Ice chest, flashlight, you know....no transistors or integrated circuits.

An isolator transformer versus a surge strip is like comparing the filtering capabilities of a HEPA filter to a cyclone fence.

If electronics are not overloaded, overheated or subjected to the wrong voltage, an isolation transformer can increase the lifespan of solid state components by a factor of two to five hundred percent. Switching power supplies are their own effective filter. But flat panel TV's, microwave controls, stereos, and other electronics benefit greatly from the inclusion of an isolation transformer in the power. But isolation transformers do nothing to correct voltage. Just like autotransformers do nothing to filter bad electricity.
