Whilst I make use of Belkin surgeprotectors and use a seperate ring to run my office on as well as ensuring it has its own earthing spike and RCD to isolate the various circuits I still cannot guarantee there will not be damage. but if all your trying to reduce is the damage or effect of large spikes and surges then the Belkin or Stanley trailing socket extension lead should do the trick.
