No, GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are designed to protect against electrical shock hazards, not surge damage. For surge protection, you would need to use surge protectors or whole-house surge protection devices.
Possibly, but that's kind of missing the whole point of a surge protector. The surge protector exists to protect the things that are plugged into it. If you're not using those devices anyway during the storm, sure, go ahead and unplug the surge protector... but you could also have just unplugged the devices themselves from the wall and not bought a surge protector in the first place. Also, storms don't directly damage surge protectors. Stopping surges damages surge protectors. If there's no surge, it doesn't matter if the surge protector is plugged in or not.
Tidal gauges usually measure the storm surge.
Surge protectors are rated in joules because joules measure the energy a surge protector can absorb before it fails to protect your devices. The higher the joule rating, the more energy the surge protector can handle. Choosing a surge protector with a higher joule rating can provide better protection for your electronics.
Power Surge - water ride - was created in 1992.
Surge is a noun (a surge) and a verb (to surge). It is not an adjective.
There are five: Payback Surge, Thunder Surge, Fire Surge, Barrier Surge, Vitality Surge.
Surge goes by Surge Valdez, and Sergio Sebastian Valdez.
Yes.
There is likely no difference. Neither is accepted terminology for a surge suppressive device (SPD). If these products have been tested by safety organizations such as CSA (Canada) or UL (US) or tested to international surge standards (IEEE, IEC), then they should bare the correct terminology, otherwise, they are not tested to provide protection to equipment during a surge. Surge Absorber acts as a load that utilizes the high current until it exhausts. but the surge suppressor diverts the high current into ground without reaching the sensitive parts of the circuit. Surge absorber degrades faster than a surge suppressor.
