I agree. But, that is not what the SECO sales pitch says. They claim that their surge protector will protect against lightning, but only if the lightning hits the wire between the nearest transformer and your meter and causes a surge in your power. Highly unlikely because the wires are underground. But, if it does happen, you may need a lawyer and an engineer to read the warranty coverage and try to understand all of the things that are excluded from coverage.
