WHERE TO GET MORE HELP
There are many sources of information on surge protection, including codes, standards, handbooks, and many technical papers. Most of these are written for technically-oriented people rather than typical consumers, with the exceptions of the bill-stutters from your utility, occasional consumer-oriented articles, or the present booklet.
On the other hand, with the popular and ever-increasing use of the Internet, useful information can be obtained on line.
The sources identified below are listed as a starting point for a Web search, but with the understanding that new ones can appear and existing ones can disappear. Furthermore, these sources include some commercial entities as well as non-profit organizations. Such identification is not intended to imply recommendation or endorsement by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, nor is it intended to imply that these sources are necessarily the best available for the purpose.
