IIUC houses that were build after the second world war should be
pre-protected, but houses that are older could be without any
pre-protection. The later a house was build, the better the
pre-protection and without pre-protection as far as I understand, those
devices are completely useless.
How do the safety connectors work ?
AFAICT they separate the equipment from the over-voltage source.
Supposing this happens fast enough and the separation is high-voltage save,
how should an over-voltage still be able to harm your equipment ?
I would conclude: It can't.
'Perhaps' next week or so, I'll do some more research.
Let's know, if you figure out.
