do instructions include surge protection and grounding ?

The literature does not mention of surge nor grounding protections but for lightening prone areas, I suggest grounding through the metal pole.

Yes you can add the Surge to an extension cord, Just be sure to use a heavy duty extension cord with the ground pin

I'm not an electrician, but I would think it would need to be grounded... otherwise where would the surge go? I happened to have an electrician in my house for other things when this arrived, so I asked him how I should ground this. He just took it and hooked it up to the neutral/grounding wire in a nearby unused outlet and said it is now grounded with the rest of the house. I can still use that outlet too.

No. Best answered on the manufacturer's website here: http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/products/surge-protectors/rackbar/cps-1215rms.htm

The unit provides protection against electrical spikes and surges. Your problem is with the electrical utility provider could be a transformer issue

It is a 3 prong connection. Plugging into a 2 prong adapter may defeat the purpose of the surge protection

I didn't look at the other comments before responding... sorry. More is better, opinions vary, nothing is perfect, I deemed this adequate and it insures my warranty is not invalidated for not using a surge protector. Regarding how much more you might want, here is one reference: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/everyday-tech/surge-protector7.htm

If the inverter is working correctly, it should provide case ground which I believe would also be connected to the 24 volt negative. I would ask the obvious question which is, have you plugged the surge protector into a regular wall socket? And did this also result in a flashing ground fault light?

It so does protect againt surges. Those people writing negative reviews more than likely did not have a properly grounded outlet. It will not work without a ground! Get a circuit tester at any hardware store for about $5.00 (a lot cheaper at Harbor Frieght) and make sure your circuit is good. Besides the ground test, it will test the polarity on your circuits, and any GCFI's you have. Easy as pie to read ... not so easy to fix if you DON"T know what you are doing. Good luck -jay

No, it does not come with a surge protector but it does have a fuse inside that will blow if the current limit is exceeded.

Not 100% sure, but I think it would be grounded once you plug it into an oulet or even better a surge protector.

No...because it requires a ground to work correctly.It will plug in & work but you would notice the red fault led light up,&the; manual says that for it to work correct you need a ground.You would be cheating your self & your equiptment for the protection,that's what were looking for.I'am guessing your home has later wireing,which didn't require grounding,like of todays.Sorry too give you the bad news,but for it too really protect & work correct would require a good ground system.And with the cost of electronics we don't want to cheat ourselfs.The parts inside require ground system to work correctly.Good luck,on finding solution.

Yes, grounding will be necessary. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Not all wall outlets are grounded. Sometimes just one of the 2 plug-in are grounded. It is an easy test and most are grounded. You get what you need when you order the earthing products

No, it does not. You would have to purchase a surge protected outlet to install instead of the standard outlet provided. The picture of the product is deceiving.

Yes. It has no ground post. All your circuits for this fuse block must be grounded elsewhere.

We haven't been able to install this yet, so I can't comment. The house we are temporarily in does not have grounded switches.
