TRC 90802 FIRST ALERT LCDI Protected Surge Power Strip with Fire Shield Safety, 6-Outlet, 3-Foot, White

by First Alert

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Fire Shield Surge Strips are the only power strips with built-in intelligence to prevent Cord Fires, Surges, Overloads. State-of-the-art electronics detect cord damage and disconnect power in 25/1000 of a second, preventing cord fires. Every six minutes there is a cord-related fire in the United States. The special braided shield allows the plug-mounted electronics to continuously monitor for insulation breakdown or roken/frayed conductors. Standard electrical cords have no means of monitoring for leakage currents and cannot shut off power before these currents can arc and start a fire. Protect all your sensitive electronic equipment from the damaging effects of power surges and spikes.

My college forced everyone living on campus to buy this piece of garbage, and it keeps cutting out. It's the "safest surge protector in the world" because even the smallest fluctuation in current will cause it to shut off. It couldn't even handle a desk lamp. I'm pretty sure this company has deals with colleges to force their students to buy these things. Otherwise, no one would ever buy them.
