    guys AVR's are very good investment. just remember to use avr that has the right specs for your appliances. i read this before. a 500 watt avr. which we normally see on tv's and pc's are good for electric fans only. tv's supposed to have a minimum of 2000w specially bigger ones. the more inches it has. the more wattage it needs.

    oh yea. reason for appliances getting fried with surges that is already equipped with avr is, low wattage avr's. low wattage avr's are bypassed/ taken over by the sudden surge of power which i think is way beyond 1000w. making the (example) 500w avr unable to contain the sudden jerk in electical pwer. so fried appliances. another reason is old avr's losses their potential after years of use.

    yung installation nya is between the main breaker and the meralco power going into the house.

    yung unit, depends on the load that you want to protect. so depende rin yung price. yung sa akin, up to 400 volts ang kayang i-supress, tapos pag pumitik ang electricity, hindi nararamdaman sa bahay. < 1 nano seconds ang response nya.
