About 30 years ago, after a lightning strike hit my home, I went to Menards and purchased GFCI/surge protector. When there is a lightning strike near, it trips the GFCI. I can't buy them anymore. I have them on all my TV's and microwave.
When I installed an expensive kitchen aid dishwasher with electronic controls. I wired the dishwasher to a power cord. Then I purchased the largest strike protector I could find, the type one would use to protect compters. Installed it under sink. Glad I did, lightning wiped it out, saved the dishwasher.
Then I purchased a strike protector from the power company. It goes between the meter and the meter base. If I have lightning damage, they are suppose to pay. Haven't hand any lightning damage.
Hoping someone else will measure the power used by a GFCI.
