    Surge protector with Xbox One or Xbox 360


    I read that plugging an Xbox One or an Xbox 360 into a surge protector can cause problems.

    I no longer use surge protectors with my Xboxes. Everything seems to be fine.

    However, I was wondering, would the period I used a surge protector for actually damaged my system?

    You're right, the console does have it's own surge protector. Some surge protectors do cause issues. My Xbox One & Xbox 360 are plugged into one, and have no issues at all, so I think it depends on the brand of surge protector you have.

    Low framerate on Orange Box (Xbox 360)

    I found the solution!

    I had my Xbox 360 plugged into a surge protector. The Xbox's power cord already has a protector built in. If you plug it into another surge protector, it reduces power to the Xbox. I tried plugging the Xbox directly into an outlet and the framerate is a
    lot better.

    xbox one power button flashing

    is your xbox one plugged into a surge protector? The xbox one has surge protection built into the power supply and if it's plugged into a surge protector you may have problems. Try plugging it into the wall or a different outlet.

    Xbox One not performing correctly

    The Xbox One PSU already has a surge protector, plugging the console into another surge protector will cause issues and is not recommended.

    My controller keeps disconnecting!

    Hi Clement,

    Make sure your console is plugged directly into a wall outlet. Plugging the console into a surge protector or ext.. cord will cause issues over time with the Xbox. The Xbox one S and X have a surge protector inside, the Xbox one has a surge protector in
    the brick.

    Thanks,

    Brad
