I think this is a transient voltage suppressor, which is also known as TVSS.It a protective device for limiting transient voltages by diverting or limiting the increase current.It also prevents the continuous current flow changes, while retaining the ability to repeat Arguments of functions.
A TVSS is an integral part of the container, a local number for the use of protective equipment during temporary events at home.
You can find a home in power and replace the existing receptacle.
Good luck

USA I'm with Jim on a real improvement. But I think I want to connect just for your TV and other devices in the event that you tied a plug-in multi-output may want greater protection.

Here are the basics: energy is measured in joules. The more joules, more energy. You want to protect your computer from more than one joule number that you can afford to. Circuit City sells for about $ 100, which protects up to several thousand joules and return with a guarantee that Fry, if you need to do if your computer is connected with his patron, for damaged equipment.

Protection to protect against voltage spikes 10 and 20 euro to your equipment through the tides of small, so small, it would still not likely to affect the device. Put your trust in them. They are a convenient place to the various elements, that is all that is good to get in touch.

Either good, or - and this is the best method - drag your stuff if it is not in use.

You can buy a small increase in HD or Lowes or Ace Hardware, or etc.
It is small and simply plug into the outlet, then plug into the TV.
I have one for the refrigerator and the TV itself.
Spirit, I do not know how they work, with the exception of red on the packaging (like all), but are certified by Underwriters Laboratories.

Surge some are very difficult for a DIY project to install properly. The material runs about $ 1,000 for each circuit and the smallest is 6 units. The tapes are sold as a surge voltage protection is not always true. Call a qualified electrician.

gfic switch you can have installed on your switch box, they work very well for SP
break when a certain voltage or amps successes or line breaks
