Does anyone here know how surge protectors work? Woke up yesterday to no phones, internet or tv. Had a storm over night. Telephone repair man found a DSL filter blown apart. Phone line running the internet goes through a surge protector. We had to bypass the surge protector to regain phone and internet connection. Indicater light on the surge protector still shows protection working. AC power outlets on surge protecting are still working but tv that was pluged in to it will not turn on. We found a blown fuse in the tv. This does not make sense to me. Can anyone explain this? Surge protector obviously did not protect and indicator light is not correct.
