I am going to wall mount my TV and want to replace my outlet with a Leviton 5280 outlet which also offers some surge protection. It offers only 720 joules of protection, is this enough?


I did some research and do not want to get a kit to install because by the wall mounted TV, there is also a Left,Right,Center and Sub which all require a power source to be plugged in and in order to keep it "neat" I will dedicate each equipment with a Leviton outlet, of course if 720 joules is enough.

Why not use a Powerbridge (or make your own) http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...ighlight=power and then use one larger surge suppressor for all of your equipment ?

Destructive surges are hundreds of thousands of joules. You probably should read "Surge protection. Voltage regulation. UPS" at (written this way due to restrictions):
