One too many small surges and it cuts off power right?
Wait until that day and send it in for warranty replacement.

A protector for that anomaly must make a low impedance connection, as short as possible (ie located at the pole), so that hundreds of thousands of joules dissipate in earth. Protectors (that are best chained to that pole) can protect from that anomaly - called a surge.

The 'surge' that so many believe is protector destructive actually does not damage any properly sized protector. It only damages near zero and ineffective protectors often sold under the APC, Belkin, Panamax, Tripplite, and Monster labels.

Surge to me is a voltage spike. Not to be confused with continuous high or low voltage.

It was a big job taking out of one we were trading in and I did not have time or tools to do the job. Tech at Progressive indicated that there are just so many surges the unit can take before the MOV device does not work well. He seemed to think that, if we could swing it, a new one would be a good idea. No way to tell how many sugres it had sustained and I figured that after 10+ years of regular use, it was time for a new one. With all the $$ we were spending a few more would not matter.
