All of my electronics are connected their own ups. Are ups capable of handling lighting surges even if the plug has no 3rd grounding prong?

Lets face it, hindi standard ang 3 prong outlet dito sa pinas, kahit me ground sa bahay namin, outlet is still 2 prong.

It will protect only line-to-line surges. Remember, lightning seeks its path to the nearest earth. The job of the arrester is to divert this discharge path to the ground. If you dont have proper ground it will seek its path to whatever device connected to the ingress media(AC mains, cable or telephone service drop, antennae) every electronics plugged to it is a potential path for discharge point - could be the nearest chasis, a damp floor, or a humid air.

Newer buildings comes grounding as standard. Maybe the outlet isnt but the mains circuit breaker box should have it as a provision if ever you decide to install one. The old house, i had to install ground rods and wires to the powerplant, water pumps & heater, the breaker box, server cabinet, and kitchen electric appliances..

Btw, any recommended repair shop for the TV? Wala akong alam na honest repair shop.

if the house has no provision for a grounding line, it would be safer if i can directly ground the ups by earthing it to metal rod?

saan ba nangagaling yung lightning surge?
correct me if im wrong, pero di ba galing sa poste ng meralco or cable tv then pumasok sa bahay.
tama po ba?

Manila area sir. Im not 100% sure if properly grounded lahat. How would i know?

From what i've researched last night,possible na may fuse daw sa loob ng tv. So hopefully fuse lang.

As for the soundbar and media player, possible na hdmi ports naman. Sana minor lang.

If you are near pasig, there is a panasonic service shop along shaw blvd. They charged me 5,500 to replace the power supply of my plasma TV last year.
