A Mame machine in an antique buffet - USB probs solved (I think!)
TEKNYNE:
Yup that will work.
gryhnd:
For the most part I have your typical consumer power strip style protectors, except for my H.T. rack which has a high end rack mounted unit.
However about a year ago I picked up two of these off eBay for about $60-$70 apiece.
After losing the third controller board in my furnace, it dawned on me that it was probably about the only electronic item in my house that wasn't protected. One of these Leviton units is hardwired "in line" to the furnace circuit. The other I haven't installed yet (although you're motivating me) but is destined to protect my expensive minifridge and convection/microwave, also in the H.T.
They were really simple to install too, especially if you have enough slack in the line coming out of your breaker box. Essentially you just splice it in. If not, it's only a skosh more difficult to run a bit of new romex from the breaker to give you the slack you need.
Teknyne comments though, made me go look at its specs. Not sure how the protection modes relate:
•UL 1449 TVSS rated.
•IEEE C62.41-1991 Category A&B Combination Wave and
Ringwave Suppression.
•Three protection modes -- L1-L2, L1-G, L2-G.
•Two suppression stages -- primary and backup.
•Fused for suppression protection failure.
•EMI/RFI filtration circuitry.
•Two diagnostic modes include LED and audible indicators
for suppression failure or open ground condition
TEKNYNE:
gryhnd: Levitons site I am having trouble with but I am sure that UL 1449 is based on MOV's (metal oxide varistor) and it stating L1-L2, L1-G, L2-G protection modes I think put it in the mode 3 category. But I could be wrong.
TEKNYNE:
drventure by the way amazing cab! Absolutely love it!

@Teknyne
Thanks! Wish I wasn't having to rebuild quite so much of it but ah well.
And thanks for the Suppressor info. I think i'll do a bit more research and pick up a few of these Mode 1 units.
You have any suggested models?
