i believe a min. of 10 % should be spent on protection devices for electronic equipment.

i visited the dentist a while back and he was showing off with all his new equipment telling me the cost R200 000 +...my first question was how much of was spent on protection...R200 thats it...well if i where an insurance company i wouldnt even consider insurance cover...it would be too high risk...i would insist on a stabilised power supply being the min. requirement... with surge protection in the DB and at the plug.

power supplies in SA are too unstable not to have some sort of protection.
