Abstract
A relocatable power tap includes surge suppression or surge protection for affording improved safety, in which the metal oxide varistors (“MOVs”) of the surge protectors or surge suppressors are encased in cement or concrete, and which relocatable power tap is preferably formed as part of an electrical power strip. The method for manufacturing the relocatable power tap includes the step of encasing the metal oxide varistors (“MOVs”) of the surge protector, or surge suppressor, in cement or concrete, or similar fire-resistant material.
