Surge protector

kottum

Some years ago we purchased an external surge protector, because both internal and external urge protectors are sacrificial.  I understood they would be ruined in the process of surge protection in some conditions.  If the external surge protector is ruined, we could simply unplug it, toss it, and continue our travels without it.  If the internal surge protector is ruined, we would have no external power available until it was replaced or bypassed.

Is that still the case with the newer models?
