GFCI surge protector

[Kingkold020]

I’ve been searching online for a while now but I haven’t seen any surge protectors with GFCI. I was trying to find one because the outlet I’m use if doesn’t have it. Is it even a thing? If so please reccomend me one. I’ve also heard of the Tripp lite one but that is gfci only. It doesn’t have surge protection as well.

Not common, but here's one.


Most I use a plug in gfci and plug my power strip into that.

I didn’t know you could plug a power strip into this. Thanks for the tip.

Specifically, the single outlet GFCI's sold at the hardware store. Please don't plug strips into strips as a general practice.

I see what you mean. I didn’t know plug in gfci outlets existed. I’ll probably go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and try to find one. So could I plug a power strip into that?

You can have GFCI at the breaker or at the outlet. GFCI breaker will make all outlets on that circuit GFCI. GFCI outlet, only that outlet. Outlet is around $20 at HD.

I have new apex eb832 that I was planning to plug into a serge protector that will be plugged into gfci outlet. So your not supposed to plug a strip into another strip? Anyone know if the eb832 has surge protection? We get a lot of storms in Texas and I don’t want to risk such expensive equipment. Any ideas? Thanks

The eb832 has surge protection but not gfci.
Youcan plug a power strip into a plug in gfci

But you shouldn't plug a power strip into a power strip, to many outlets with a potential to overload the outlet that powers them.
