I’ve built a small office for myself with outlets all over the room. They are all on one circuit I’d like to protect them all with a single surge protector.
I imagine their should be some product similar to a GFI outlet that would protect itself and everything past it on the circuit. I could mount it next to my panel and run the wiring straight to it before continuing on to my office. But I can’t find such a device.
The two closest things I’ve found are a whole home surge protector which seems like overkill. And this outlet from Leviton which is a surge protector, but only for itself. It won’t protect anything else on the circuit.
I could obviously use a power bar with a built in surge protector but part of the idea of having a bunch of outlets around the room was to remove the need for a power bar and keep everything cleaner.
Does anyone know if what I’m imagining actually exists?
Just something to think about or look into but I was under the impression that home battery solutions include power conditioning which is sorta a better form of surge protetion. Even without solar panels or such if you have hourly pricing you could charge at lost cost times and run on battery power at peak cost times to save money and then also you get the benefit of being able to ignore power outages that are not to long.
