Abstract
Caught among contradictory stories on the need for surge protection as well as unsupported anecdotes of surge-related failures found in some editorial advertising, the typical consumer is in a quandary on how to est allocate personal resources to protect the expensive electronic equiment found in a modern household.

The value of the theoretical concepts presented in the Recommended Practice is illustrated by two case histories where such concepts were not applied. In addition,Proceedings Title
