    Do Powerwalls prevent appliances plugged into surge suppressors from going off?

    Sorry, but I don't understand your answer. Maybe I wasn't clear. We had a power outage and anything connected to an outlet surge suppressor went out. I thought the Powerwall was supposed to act as a seamless backup, taking over during a power outage. Clock on microwave and two clocks plugged...

They told me that this system would back up ALL my 30-amp and lower circuits (about 100 amps from a load calculation), transferring them to the subservice panel. But at the install, I was told I would have to choose critical circuits for...
