    Is it okay to plug transformer/voltage regulator on surge protector?
    Is it okay to plug voltage regulator on surge protector?
    I have100V ps3 and a 220v large lcd TV plugged into my voltage regulator and I am planning to plug this into the surge protector that I purchased earlier to avoid surges and spikes.
    Can my surge protector handle all the electronics + the voltage regulator??
    I'm afraid my surge protector might break.

    By the way on my voltage regulator there's a switch and it says "Circuit Protector"
    "Press to Reset". What is this so called Circuit Protector? Is it also a surge protection device?

    And is it okay to leave a voltage regulator turned on all the time?

    The circuit protector is likely a circuit breaker. It most likely trips when too much current is drawn.

    As far as whether your surge protector can handle your equipment... well, I'm not sure what you mean by 100V ps3. Are you saying you plan to plug both a 220V and 110V device into the same outlet? We need some more details.

    Unless you have a regulator that I have not seen, I don't think it will run both 110V and 220V at the same time.
