Also asked, why does my surge protector keep turning off?

Some power strips have built-in surge protection and some come with a circuit breaker that shuts off the power strip if it's overpowered by too many connected devices. But if you're connecting electronics to a power outlet, use a surge protector.

Beside above, will Surge Protector keep breaker tripping? surge protectors won't keep you from tripping your breaker, in my opinion. Breakers are designed to ignore surges and transients, anyway. Whether there' on the same outlet or not doesn't matter if they're on the same breaker. Sometimes that breaker might also be shared with an adjoining room where you have other loads.

Correspondingly, what causes a power strip to trip?

Circuit overload This is the most common reason for the circuit breakers to trip. They can only handle a certain electrical load, which varies from circuit to circuit. Avoid plugging multiple energy-guzzling appliances into a single outlet with the use of a power strip.

How do I know if my power strip has surge protection?

A surge protector will have a rating in Joules of energy, as well as the maximum voltage it can take from a power spike. If you find those numbers either on the box it came it or on the strip itself, then it is a surge protector.
