Here is the information on UL 1449 listing for the surge suppressors. And you might want to read this as well....
All this mumbo jumbo from Surgex, etc does not answer the OP's questions. Plenty of technical citations are posted without understanding their engineering relevance. Which OP's anomaly does each citation address?
For example, UL1449 says nothing about a protector being effective. UL is about human safety. All UL testing is about protecting human life from events such as fire. In some UL tests, a protector can even fail (do no protection). And still be UL listed. Why? It failed in a manner that did not threaten human life. You should have known what UL tests for before recommending UL 1449.
Even letters for each UL category does not define protection. It defines which human safety test applies to that protector. To know that means understanding what UL testing addresses. Probably even defined on UL's homepage. Read it to learn what UL tests for.
Surgex is a series mode filter. So which in a long list of anomlies does the Surgex solve? Apparently all anomalies are solved by a Surgex? Nonsense. The Surgex even has a wire that bypasses it; carries a transient into the appliance.
Those citations say little towards the OP's question. A short list of anomalies include frequency variation, harmonics, single point grounding (ie current loops), noise, voltage variation, RFI, power factor, EMC/EMI, open neutral, longitudinal and transverse currents, safety ground, and leakage currents. What does a power conditioner do? OP's answer means each anomaly is discussed separately and with numbers. Which anomaly does a Surgex solve?
No power conditioner addresses most anomalies. Power conditioners vary according to what is solved. Even a Surgex only addresses a few anomalies. To answer the OP's question, list each anomaly. Then cite the Surgex spec number that says 'how' that anomaly is solved.
Even a citation about balanced power is, well I suspect you have no idea how it applies to the OP's question. Many are already made irrelevant by what exists inside electronics. If you did comprehend that citation, then the relevant part would have been quoted. And relevant numbers highlighted.
One common anomaly easily solved and rarely implemented by homeowners is a destructive surge. Using their own numbes, Surgex only addresses surges made irrelevant by protection already inside electronics. And that assumes a surge does not take the bypass wire.
All facilities that have effective protection implement a single point earth ground. And connect to that ground either directly (a hardwire) or via a protector. That solution always exists in facilities that cannot have damage. And that is only a solution to one of so many anomalies.
You should have known that UL 1449 does not define effective protection. You should have known that UL is about safety. Surgex is a superior solution for but a few unique anomalies. Selling it as a solution to all anomalies (like so many power conditioners) is naive. Which anomaly does it address? Each citation should say which anomaly is solved. Summarize the relevant engineering number. Otherwise, one can only assume you are posting citations you do not even comprehend.
Any 'line conditioner' solution starts by first defining the anomaly. Some miracle line conditioner that addresses all anomalies is, well, that claim exists only in advertising, urban myths, and hearsay.
