Ok, just be sure it has an integrated circuit breaker otherwise its just…a surge protector. You’ll also need to identify what load it triggers at. For example, I use these on my gear https://tripplite.eaton.com/isobar-4-outlet-surge-protector-6-ft-cord-3300-joules-diagnostic-leds~ISOBAR4ULTRA and they’re rated to 12A which should protect a 15A rated smart plug. I put rated in italics because errrryone is buying CE (instead of UL listed) smart plugs.

Place a surge protector between the smart plug and the PC to be safe.

What benefit does this serve in this situation?
