For what "definintion"; what "reason after reason"?

People working in surge protection are aware that UL revised 1449 to
include protection for overheating MOVs. Maybe you should keep up. Were
all these surge suppressors even listed under the original UL 1449?

The IEEE and NIST say plug-in surge suppressors are effective.

I have still not seen a link from you that said plug-in surge
suppressors are not effective.

The power co here has a surge protector that attaches onto the
incoming wires at the meter. I had it installed for several years
until I decided it wasn't worth an extra 6 bucks a month. It was
for anything behind the meter and had a huge dollar replacement
guarantee for anything fried.
