Powerbar Power
What is the correct way to protect a computer from power serges using a powerbar?
This is very basic, but the family is argueing about the correct way to use the powerbar into which the computer is plugged. The toggle switch on the powerbar is turned to the "on" or lit position. When we go away for several days, should we leave the switch in this position, or, thinking about energy saving and the environment, should we turn the toggle switch to the off or unlit position?
Supplementary, which position is it that actually protects the computer from power serges?
You will need a powerstrip with an actual surge protector. There are different jewel ratings for these. The higher the better.
If you are leaving town. You should unplug computers from the wall. Lightning can still possibly tear through any surge protector.
I hope this helps
