After checking distribution lines, and other electric connections in the area, the engineers from service provider have rules out possibility of an external source of surge.

I know nothing about advantages and disadvantages of having multiple grounds. In case, the disadvantages outweigh advantages, then is it okay to reuse existing ground?

I know nothing about advantages and disadvantages of having multiple grounds.

I fully agree with you. My purpose is to assure that this circuit would work, before it gets implemented.

If you have knowledge of and access to any simulation software, that can unearth possible vulnerabilities in the suggested circuit, please check and rate advantages and disadvantages of this circuit.

Relevant details are as follows: • Electricity connection type: Single phase residential connection. • Electricity supply as per service provider: 230 Volt 50 Hz Alternating Current. • Phase to Neutral voltage ≈ 240 to 250 Volt. • Neutral to Earth voltage ≈ 1 to 2 Volt (An unusually large...

Service provider's engineers have checked distribution lines and other electricity connections in the area, and told me that random surges are occurring due to faulty wiring at my home itself, i.e., after metering panel and MCB.

Civil repairing/renovation job to my house is pending and therefore, replacement of suspected faulty home wiring is likely to take place afterwards. Meanwhile, I need to protect my electronic gadgets from random surges. So, I have been advised to setup an additional circuit to power them. But I...

No.

I am facing electric surge problem for last few years at my home. The surge mostly damages electronic gadgets. Both Honeywell and Belkin brand protectors have failed so far. The surge passes through these protectors and blows everything connected to them. Now, I have been told that issue is...
