Default Do Surge Protectors Work if Turned Off?
We recently had SECO install a whole-house surge protector, and they also supplied some plug-in surge protectors for computer equipment, etc. That got me to thinking . . .

Does a surge protector work when it is turned off? Does it have to be turned on with the little light glowing in order to keep your electronics safe?

I'm sure there are some folks on TOTV who know the real answer to this question, so thanks!
