EVGA 750W B2 PSU with TrippLite SUPER7B surge protector?

superhiperpolulo · Nov 7, 2015

hello, I am planning to get this surge protector:
(http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-Protector-Suppressor-SUPER7B/dp/B00AAHT8AQ)

for my future system that will have an EVGA 750W B2 power supply
(http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-110-B2-0750-VR/dp/B00KFAFRW6/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1446915278&sr=1-4&keywords=evga+750w)

and I wanted to know if it will be enough to power and protect all my system (including monitor and PC, printer and some other devices I occasionally connect)?

are there better options for the price?

if this is not enough what would be better and not so expensive?

would it be better to just connect everything to the wall outlet?

damn I just read the description of the product in the mx version of Amazon and it didn't say all that XD though I linked the US version which I forgot to read, wonder if the warranty will be valid here in Mexico

Warranty has so many exemptions that it need not be honored. Free market history shows products hyped by a largest warranty are often least reliable products. Did you believe GM products were more reliable than Honda and Toyota? Their warranty said so. Good luck was required to get a GM warranty honored.

Anyone can read specifications. It says it will absorb 720 joules and never more than 1440. So how does it block or absorb destructive surges that are hundreds of thousands of joules? It claims to protect from a type of surge that typically does not overwhelm protection already inside appliances. Where is the protection?

Being undersized, that Tripplite also must be protected by the proven solution that costs about $1 per protected appliance. A properly earthed 'whole house' solution means hundreds of thousands of joules dissipate harmlessly outside a building. A 'whole house' protector is needed so that a Tripplite does not earth a surge destructively via adjacent appliances. Or create a fire.

Why would a power strip with a 15 amp breaker not provide sufficient power? A 750 watt supply suggests your computer does not consume more than 375 watts - most likely less. A 15 amp strip cannot provide 3 amps?

hello, I've heard of a properly earthed house but I don't know if mine is earthed properly or how to check it, or who do I need to contact in order to get help?

Code defines earthing for human safety. That means every incoming utility has some type of hardwire connection to earth ground. A homeowner is responsible for maintaining this earth ground.

Where cable TV enters, a ground block and hardwire must connect to the earth ground electrode. An example of that ground block:

Telephone connects a hardwire to ground in an NID where their wires meet the homeowners. Examples of NIDs:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Network_interface_device_ameritech.jpg

AC electric must have a quarter inch bare copper hardwire from that breaker box to that same earthing electrodes. That hardwire should be easy to locate.

All above ground connections must exist for human safety. Surge protection means these same grounds must exceed safety code requirements. For example, each hardwire must be low impedance (ie less than 10 feet) to an earthing electrode that all share. Each wire must have no sharp bends. Examples of how hardwire connections are upgraded to also provide surge protection. Any layman can inspect earthing. Furthermore, every homeowner is responsible for it

Earthing does the protection. 'Whole house' protector makes that connection. Lightning is maybe 20,000 amps. A 'whole house' protector must be sized to connect that current to earth - and not fail. A minimal 'whole house' protector is 50,000 amps.

Protector is sized to not fail after many surges. Earth ground defines quality of protection during each surge. Above introduces a 'secondary' protection layer to protect all household appliances.

Also inspect your 'primary' protection layer. Each protection layer is defined by its earth ground. Pictures demonstrate what to inspect in your 'primary' protection layer:

Then all appliances have protection.
