Neither the popular Hughes Autoformer or TRC Voltage Regulator have any ability to protect against surges. For that TRC recommends their #44260 Surge Guard be inserted before the voltage regulator because it doesn't have any under / over voltage protection. This arrangement then won't cut power to the voltage regulator if incoming source voltage falls out of range, therefore allowing the voltage regulator to boost voltage once incoming source voltage falls below it's low voltage threshold. Since the 44260 offers only basic surge protection TRC also recommends adding their Model 34830 after the voltage regulator for maximum system protection.
Apparently the Hughes does provide surge protection. Taken from the website. "
