I won't venture a guess on what might be needed on the European power grid, which, IIRC, operates on 220V.

Here in Herrliberg, Switzerland we have probably had about one power-outage per year over the last 5 years. There was one year where we even had two. This is unusual - a lot of places might have just one outage over 5 years. Surges - not a problem. Might happen in combination with an outage, but they're minor. We use no UPS and no surge-suppression - but the write-cache to the RAID-array does have a battery backup. /Per Jessen, Zürich
