These "point-of-use" protectors are absolutely necessary but they can get overwhelmed with a very large power surge. This is why you really need a Primary, Type-2 surge protector installed in addition at the circuit breaker panel. This surge protector will significantly reduce and or block a large power surge so the Type-3, point-of-use surge protectors can handle the surge.
